The Best Photos from Sea.Hear.Now 2024

Asbury Park’s Sea.Hear.Now festival finally nabbed the headliner everyone has been waiting for since the festival began in 2018: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Springsteen’s Sunday evening closing set was more than worth the six year wait: a rarities-filled set that gravitated towards 1973’s Greetings From Asbury Park and told the story of the band’s Jersey Shore past (he also guested with Trey Anastasio and Gaslight Anthem in rapid succession right before playing his own three-hour show). But Sea.Hear.Now was about much more than one performance: everyone from hitmaker Noah Kahan to roots-rock legend Robert Randolph to rapper Action Bronson to Nineties mainstays 311 to R&B/funk legends Kool & The Gang to Nashville up-and-comers like Sierra Ferrell and Joy Oladokun played the Jersey Shore festival over its two days. In its sixth year running, Sea.Hear.Now provided a unforgettable weekend of music, food and ocean breeze in the Jersey Shore sand.
