The 2018 Asbury Park Surf Music Festival line-up has officially been announced, and if you love surf music you’re going to get stoked by this year’s line-up.
The festival, which is celebrating it’s fifth year, takes place August 17-August 19 and will have events happening throughout Asbury Park. The line-up will feature more of an international flavor with bands coming in from Europe, and Canada.
The main event takes place on Saturday August 18, and it will take over Convention Hall in Asbury Park.
The music part of the festival (presented by Hi-Tide) will take place outdoors at The Anchor’s Bend, located on the North Beach section of Asbury’s legendary beach. It will be moved inside Convention Hall if there’s inclement weather (follow the festival’s social media for updates). The music begins at noon.
