After an eight-year hiatus, it’s no wonder fans are clamoring to attend Skate And Surf Festival. The festival will mark its triumphant return with an incredible lineup featuring Saturday’s headliners, Fall Out Boy, whose new CD, Save Rock and Roll recently debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and Sunday’s headliner, A Day To Remember. Also performing on Sunday, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, the duo behind the biggest-selling single of the year, "Thrift Shop," whose new single, "Can't Hold Us," is currently #1 on the Billboard Hot R & B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and is climbing the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart.
The exciting and diverse musical lineup at Skate And Surf Festival also includes Bayside, Saves The Day, Andrew W.K., Of Mice & Men, Breathe Carolina, Timeflies, Lights, and more.

Skate And Surf Festival founder John D’Esposito states, “Since we announced the return of the festival, the response from fans has been overwhelming and as word began to spread about the lineup, demand grew. It became clear, in order to accommodate our guests, we had to relocate. We greatly appreciate the incredible support and efforts from iPlay America/Encore Event Center and its President and CEO Robert McDaid, Freehold’s Mayor, Barbara J. McMorrow and the township of Freehold. I look forward to working with them on future events.”
D’Esposito continues, “We are very fortunate that Six Flags Great Adventure is able to accommodate us and they are enthusiastic about the festival. Having worked with them as a co-promoter for the last ten years on other events, I believe this change in location will produce the best experience possible for all and that is exactly what our goal is.”
Skate And Surf Festival is powered by GameChanger World, an artist-powered mobile gaming platform company, led by John D’Esposito who also founded The Bamboozle, one of the East Coast’s oldest and largest music festivals. What originally began as a local gathering for skate-punks in 2002 held in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Skate And Surf Festival quickly became wildly popular and eventually evolved into The Bamboozle.
