This feels right.
Hi-Tide Recordings — the premier surf and exotic sounds label based in the world — has dropped the lineup announcement for their Hi-Tide Summer Holiday 2022 after a two-year hiatus.
“We are so excited for this year,” said Hi-Tide co-founder Magdalena O’Connell. “After two years away, we just can’t wait to spend the weekend with our artists & friends in Asbury Park.”
This annual celebration of the music and lifestyle of surf will take August 19-21, 2022 at The Asbury Lanes and The Asbury Hotel.
This year’s lineup includes: Los Straitjackets, Southern Culture on the Skids, Messer Chups, Man or Astro-Man?, Black Flamingos, Televisionaries, Slowey and The Boats, The Swingin’ Palms, Charlie Halloran and The Tropicales and more to be announced.
This event, formerly known as The Asbury Park Surf Music Festival, is unlike any music festival you’re going to see. This is truly an immersive festival that celebrates not just surf music, but also the culture that surrounds the sound including fashion, art, cocktails, and the instruments the sound is produced on.
Hi-Tide co-founders O’Connell and Vincent Minervino will activate all spaces within the iconic music venue and hotel to create an immersive escape with live music, an exclusive tropical cocktail menu, panoramic rooftop happy hours, pool parties, late night record hops, vendor markets, seminars and more.
“It might be our best yet. We have some good friends returning, a few acts that have been highly requested for years, and some up-and-coming Hi-Tide artists that are surely next-generation headliners,” said Minervino.
Having seen this festival from its inception, it’s amazing to see how this became a local celebration of surf music and culture to an internationally renowned, one-of-a-kind experience. The fact this festival is returning after two summers off is a wonderful reminder that things are getting better in the world and what better to celebrate that fact than with some sweet, sweet music.
