Asbury Park, New Jersey | July 24–25 2026
Ten artists | Two nights of music | One unforgettable weekend
We are taking over Twin Lights Brewing for a two-day live music showcase with performances by 5 independent artists each night. Some of these artists have been growing communities of dedicated music fans from around the world by livestreaming on Twitch. Others are local favorites who have been playing gigs along the turnpike and down the shore. Some of them do both!
We’re also introducing our first Host Artist, Kathleen Elle, bringing this event into her hometown scene. The time surrounding the showcases each night will be filled with opportunities for our community to connect and explore a new city. Visit the landmarks that influenced the origin stories of great musicians like Bruce Springsteen. Make a sandcastle on the shore. Play pinball on the boardwalk. Or join the afterparty for a beer or bowling at one of Kathleen's favorite hangouts.
Part concert, part 'summer camp where people who have only known each other online for years finally end up in the same room.'
