It’s not every day that a band from Sweden comes to play on the Jersey Shore, so be sure to catch them in action at the Park Stage on Saturday evening. Sharply dressed and known for their high-energy performances, The Hives will deliver your daily dose of good ol’ fashioned rock n roll.

How hard can it be? Boys do it….

Larkin Poe, featuring sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell, will bring their gritty brand of Southern blues to Sea Hear Now on Sunday afternoon. Fans of The Black Keys, Kaleo, and Samantha Fish should flock to the Sand Stage to see these Grammy winners shred it up.

Editor’s Note: As of 9/10, Larkin Poe will no longer be performing at Sea Hear Now. Catch Wilderado instead!

Gogol Bordello
