B52s, Frankie Valli, Barenaked Ladies and more to perform during 2nd annual North to Shore event

  • State of NJ

B52s

ASBURY PARK After an extraordinarily successful first year that saw hundreds of thousands take part in the inaugural North to Shore in June 2023, the extraordinary event will return this June to kick off summer 2024 with another three-city, three-weekend celebration of the arts and ideas across New Jersey.

Conceived by NJ Gov. Phil Murphy and First Lady Tammy Murphy, the North to Shore Festival was designed to spotlight New Jersey's culture, creativity and diversity.

The lineup will begin this year in Asbury Park June 10-16, swing down to Atlantic City June 17-23, and conclude in Newark June 24-30.

With significant support from festival partners, including this year's title sponsor, Prudential Financial, North to Shore will feature scores diverse and talented artists.

Our inaugural North to Shore Festival was the beginning of a proud, new annual tradition that brings some of the biggest stars to Gov. Murphy said in a press release. I'm thrilled to announce this year's lineup features a number of world-renowned acts who will hit the stages in Newark, Asbury Park, and Atlantic City this June. This year's festival will be even bigger and better than ever before, and we look forward to welcoming those from near and far to experience our unique state this summer.

North to Shore was designed to be an economic engine for the state. Organizers' goals were far exceeded as the newborn festival drew an audience of nearly 250,000 to experience more than 300 artists in more than 100 venues in three of New Jersey's most arts-rich cities. While most festival events were free to the public, ticketed events brought in $7.6 million in ticket sales.

This year, festivalgoers can maximize the festival experience with the North to Shore app, where they can plan their schedule, explore artists, buy tickets, get access to exclusive content and giveaways, and more.

The Great City of Atlantic City got to showcase why we're among the entertainment capitals of the country during last year's North to Shore Festival, and we're looking forward to getting another opportunity this time around, Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Sr. said. Everything that makes our city special and unique, particularly in the arts and culture scene, will once again be on full display as we promise this festival will be even bigger and better in year number two.

In Atlantic City, performers include Frankie Valli, Barenaked Ladies, B-52s, Eric Roberson-Avery*Sunshine, Keyshia Cole, Trey Songz, Jaheim, K. Michelle, Sheng Wang, Sam Morril and Chris Distefano.
