From Atlantic City to Cape May, and Asbury, too. Here’s your Shore music guide for the summer.

Pop music summer at the Jersey Shore shifts immediately into high gear this year, with a brand new two-day festival on the beach on Memorial Day weekend.

From pop to hip-hop and country to rock, there are concerts and club dates that will allow you to listen with your toe in the sand, or at least be close by the waves.

The list starts with what’s going on in Atlantic City, but runs up and down the coast, from Asbury Park to Cape May.

The eye-popping addition to the Shore’s live music calendar is the Adjacent Festival, the emo and indie rock bash on the beach in Atlantic City this Memorial Day weekend.

Adjacent has two A-list headliners. Paramore, the Hayley Williams-fronted band whose 2023 album This Is Why is their first in six years, headline on Saturday. 1990s pop-punks Blink-182 top the bill on Sunday, with the reunited Blink-182 comprising Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker.

More than 20 more bands will play each day. Saturday is set to feature Bleachers — led by Taylor Swift producer Jack Antonoff — plus estimable acts such as Pup, Beach Bunny, Jeff Rosenstock, Pink Shift, and the Linda Lindas. Philly will be repped by Mannequin Pussy and Slaughter Beach, Dog.

The Sunday lineup is highlighted by Baltimore hard-core punk band Turnstile, who broke through to a wide audience with their 2021 album Glow On. Japanese Breakfast, Crying In H Mart author Michelle Zauner’s Philly band, will hopefully have new songs up its sleeve, since it’s been two years since 2021′s Jubilee. Also Sunday: Philly pop-punks the Starting Line, L.A. hard-core band Off!, and West Philly’s Pierce Jordan-fronted punk band Soul Glo. May, 27-28, adjacentfestival.com

The Anchor is doing the righteous work of maintaining a year-round independent original music venue in Atlantic City, a casino town where cover bands rule.
