The Sea.Hear.Now Festival in Asbury Park, headlined by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, is set to take place this weekend, featuring over 20 artists across three stages. Improvements made this year include additional sound and video towers, designated no-blanket zones to enhance crowd flow, and stricter regulations on smoking to maintain a family-friendly atmosphere. Tickets for the festival have sold out, but fans can still enjoy music from the beach where speakers will broadcast performances. This year's lineup also includes notable acts like Noah Kahan, the Black Crowes, and Kool & The Gang. Festival organizers have made adjustments in response to fan feedback regarding overcrowding and sound issues from previous years. The event is expected to draw around 35,000 attendees, following the festival's tradition since its inception in 2018.
