The Summer 2023 concert lineup at the Jersey Shore is packed with amazing performances. Be sure to check out the full schedule in our new entertainment segment, Wahoo where you will find these and other live music experiences throughout South Jersey.
The summer kicks off with the Adjacent Festival coming to the beach in Atlantic City Memorial Day Weekend. With performances from Paramore, Blink-182, Bleachers, Jimmy Eat World, Bleachers, Andrea McMahon In The Wilderness, and more, the two-day festival features over 40 bands on three stages with craft food, beverage experiences, and vendors.
The Live Nation powered festival will include performances by Surf Curse, Jeff Rosenstock, Beach Bunny, Coheed and Cambria, Motion City Soundtrack, Andrew McMahon, Phantom Planet, and more.
In between the headliners, there are performances from some lesser-known but equally talented artists, including comedian Neil Rubenstein, best known for his raw and honest standup sets. Rubenstein is a burly, tattooed comedian original from Long Island, NY. His jokes are inspired by personal life situations, trauma, and family dynamics.
“I just want to put people in a better mood and make them feel better,” shares Rubenstein when asked what inspires him.
Neil Rubenstein has competed in stand-up events around the country, toured with comedy greats from Ben Bailey to Trailer Trash Tammy, and opened for artists including Taking Back Sunday and Motion City Soundtrack. He has been featured on HBO, Comedy Central, and NBC.
“I’m so stoked to be a part of something so cool,” shares Neil Rubenstein. “I look up and down that lineup, and it’s so many great bands and even better friends. Being included is such a huge honor.”
Following the two-day concert experience, Neil Rubenstein will be on tour throughout the U.S. all summer. Dates and information can be found at NeilRubenstein.com.
Additional Adjacent Festival performances include Soul Glo, an American hardcore punk band from Philadelphia, English pop-rock band Hot Milk, American supergroup L.S. Dunes, and so many more. The stages will be packed with excitement from noon to 11:00 pm Saturday, May 27, and Sunday, May 28. Afterparties are set to take place at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Concert attendees will be allowed to swim in the ocean, and lifeguards will be on duty within the concert area.
