The 2026 Sea.Hear.Now lineup had a little bit of everything, making it easy to find enjoyment throughout the weekend. Mumford & Sons headlined Saturday, while the Strokes took over the last slot on Sunday. The rest of the lineup was just as impressive, with the likes of Moby, Kim Gordon, Goo Goo Dolls, the Offspring, Chaka Khan, Men At Work, Shaggy and the All-American Rejects. With so many different artists performing across the Surf, Sand and Park stages, fans could bounce around and discover something new throughout the day.
One of the best parts of SHN is being able to catch a set, walk around Asbury Park or down to the beach, then come back for another performance. This mix of music, ocean and laid-back Jersey Shore atmosphere is what has made Sea.Hear.Now so special for eight iterations since 2018.
