Sea.Hear.Now has officially announced its 2026 lineup, returning to the Asbury Park beachfront in New Jersey across 19th - 20th September, 2026. Blending music, surf culture and coastal lifestyle, the festival continues to stand out as one of the most unique events on the US calendar, with tickets set to go on sale following a pre-sale on Thursday 26th March.

Headlining Saturday, Mumford & Sons lead a diverse bill featuring The Offspring, Chaka Khan and The War on Drugs, alongside nostalgic favourites like The All-American Rejects, Shaggy and Men at Work. The day balances classic appeal with contemporary artists including Fitz and the Tantrums, Tom Odell and emerging names across the lineup.

Sunday sees The Strokes take top billing, joined by a strong mix of alternative and indie icons including Goo Goo Dolls, Fontaines D.C., Pixies and Moby. Additional performances from Ben Howard, Kim Gordon and Alice Phoebe Lou further reinforce the festival’s genre-spanning approach.

Beyond the music, Sea.Hear.Now once again integrates its signature surf competition, with top surfers competing for the “wave of the day” prize. With multiple stages, immersive art and a beachside setting, Sea.Hear.Now 2026 promises another standout edition on the Jersey Shore.
