North to Shore Festival will return to New Jersey this summer for its fourth annual presentation. Staging from June 12-28, the Garden State’s three-city arts celebration will bring a slate of more than 50 performances to venues in Newark, Asbury Park and Atlantic City.

“The best way to kick off the summer season is by celebrating New Jersey’s homegrown talent and vibrant arts scene—and that’s exactly what attendees can expect at the 2026 North to Shore Festival,” said Governor Mikie Sherrill in a statement.

This year’s North to Shore lineup features some of the foremost acts in jam, alt-rock, Americana, blues, metal and more. Distributed across 12 venues through month, attendees will catch high-profile tours including bluegrass supergroup Alison Krauss & Union Station, Southern rock powerhouses The Black Crowes and Whiskey Myers, pioneering indie rocker Kurt Vile & The Violators, avant-R&B Afrofuturist Janelle Monáe, emo titans Hot Mulligan and Joyce Manor and the unprecedented Claypool Gold, uniting Les Claypool’s bandmates in Primus, the Frog Brigade and The Claypool Lennon Delirium for a genre-obliterating freak-out. Other Relix favorites down the bill include LaMP, Dark Star Orchestra, Mihali, Joe Bonamassa, The Head and the Heart, Eddie 9V, comedians David Cross and Marc Maron and many more.

“With performances by globally recognized stars and groundbreaking local artists, this year’s North to Shore Festival once again demonstrates the incredible artistic range, cultural vitality, and creative energy that define New Jersey,” said John Schreiber, president and CEO of co-producers NJPAC.
