Dave Matthews To Headline 'Sea.Hear.Now' Festival In Asbury Park

He's the guy with squeaky voice, who plays very long concerts but still turns out megahits – even at age 52. But Dave Matthews still has it – and he's going to bring it to Asbury Park later this year.

The band that's performed such hits as "What Would You Say" and "Satellite" will headline the second annual Sea.Hear.Now Festival in Asbury Park on September 21st and 22nd.

The 2-day festival will likely feature more than 25 bands, including The Lumineers, along with unique art and surf culture experiences.

The festival has been led by Danny Clinch of Between The Sets, and C3 Presents, the team behind events such as Lollapalooza and the Austin City Limits Music Festival, said Councilperson Eileen Chapman. “We know what they are going to bring to the city is going to be spectacular and we look forward to this being the first of many Sea.Hear.Now Festivals in Asbury Park,” he said.

Last year, the events took place on on three stages near the Asbury Park waterfront at North Beach and Bradley Park. To set up for the festival that is expecting over 20,000 attendees, closures were scheduled for streets, beaches, and the boardwalk.

So far, the lineup has been released to the public, but organizers say they're working on the other details for the event that brought 45,000 to the seaside community last September.
