Sea.Hear.Now Festival Returns to Asbury Park with Major Headliners

ASBURY PARK, N.J. — The Sea.Hear.Now Festival is poised to make a splash on September 13-14, 2025, with a star-studded lineup featuring Blink-182 and Hozier at North Beach and Bradley Park. The festival promises two days of exhilarating music, alongside additional performances from popular acts including LCD Soundsystem, Lenny Kravitz, Sublime, and Alabama Shakes.

Tickets for the festival will be available starting Friday, March 21. Presale begins at 10 a.m. ET, following with a general on-sale at 11 a.m. ET if any tickets remain. Fans seeking to secure their passes will find options for single-day and two-day tickets, with first-time customers able to use the code SYRACUSE20 for $20 off orders over $200.

Blink-182, renowned for hits like “All the Small Things” and “I Miss You,” is set to perform on Sunday, September 14. This engagement follows the release of their newest album, “One More Time…,” marking a significant moment after reuniting with original guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge. “We are excited to bring our music to the Sea.Hear.Now crowd,” said DeLonge.

On Saturday, September 13, Hozier will take the stage, spotlighting his popular tracks such as “Take Me to Church” and “Almost Sweet Music.” The Irish singer-songwriter aims to bring a captivating performance as he prepares for upcoming appearances at other major music festivals, including Governors Ball and Bonnaroo. “I can’t wait to share new music with the fans in Asbury Park,” Hozier expressed.

The festival typically sees attendance of about 35,000 daily, and with such an anticipated lineup, the 2025 event is expected to sell out rapidly. Last year, ticket sales reached unprecedented levels, leading to waitlist opportunities after presales concluded, resulting in some fans paying to join waitlists. This year, purchasers can explore available tickets through platforms like StubHub if they miss the initial sale.

The price for single-day tickets begins at $170, with varied options including General Admission (GA), VIP, and platinum access. GA tickets grant entry to the festival, while upgraded GA+ tickets include access to a lounge, complimentary water, and a private bar. VIP passes provide exclusive viewing areas and additional amenities such as upgraded restroom facilities. Platinum packages offer the highest tier experience, featuring front-of-stage views and a complimentary full-service bar.

In addition to music, the festival is also a showcase for surf competition, with various contests held between the Surf and Sand stages. Notable participants include Landon McNamara, Cam Richards, and many aspiring surfers eager to claim victory during the weekend.

As the festival draws nearer, fans are reminded to plan their travels to Asbury Park ahead of time, as parking can often become a challenge. Nicole Iuzzolino, a writer focused on live events, encourages fans to act quickly to secure their tickets and avoid missing out on this anticipated celebration of music and culture.
