New Jersey’s summer concert season continues to deliver an impressive lineup of nationally recognized artists, and one of the most anticipated outdoor performances of the season arrives on Thursday, July 23, 2026, when the Dirty Heads and 311 So Glad You Made It Tour makes its stop in the Garden State. Featuring an outstanding lineup that also includes Ocean Alley and Sitting On Saturn, the evening promises hours of live music spanning alternative rock, reggae rock, surf rock, funk, and laid back California inspired sounds that have made these artists favorites among concertgoers for decades.

Scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m., the concert offers fans an opportunity to experience four acclaimed acts sharing one stage during one of the busiest stretches of New Jersey’s outdoor entertainment calendar. For longtime followers of both Dirty Heads and 311, this tour represents a celebration of two bands that have successfully blended multiple musical influences into distinctive sounds that continue to attract audiences across generations.

Dirty Heads have built one of the most recognizable catalogs in modern alternative music by combining reggae rhythms, hip hop influences, rock instrumentation, and melodic songwriting into a style that feels equally comfortable at beach festivals, amphitheaters, and major concert venues. Since emerging from Southern California, the band has consistently produced charting singles and developed an intensely loyal fan base drawn to their energetic live performances and relaxed musical identity. Their concerts are known for balancing fan favorites with newer material while maintaining the vibrant atmosphere that has become their signature.

Sharing the headline billing is 311, one of alternative rock’s most enduring and influential bands. For more than three decades, the group has remained a fixture on touring schedules through a unique blend of rock, funk, reggae, rap, and melodic hooks that has produced an extensive catalog of radio hits and fan favorites. Their reputation as one of the industry’s strongest live acts continues to grow, with performances defined by technical musicianship, positive energy, and an unmistakable connection with audiences. The band’s ability to move effortlessly between heavy guitar driven anthems and laid back grooves has helped establish them as one of alternative music’s most respected touring artists.

Adding further depth to the evening is Ocean Alley, the Australian rock band whose international following continues to expand through a combination of psychedelic rock, surf inspired melodies, reggae influences, and atmospheric songwriting. Their music provides a natural complement to the headliners while introducing audiences to one of the fastest growing acts in the modern alternative rock scene. Their live performances have become increasingly celebrated for their musicianship and immersive sound, making them an ideal addition to an already impressive lineup.

Opening the evening is Sitting On Saturn, an emerging act that continues to attract attention for its energetic performances and contemporary approach to alternative rock. As audiences arrive early for the full concert experience, Sitting On Saturn helps set the tone for an evening built around live musicianship, memorable performances, and a celebration of diverse rock influenced styles.

Beyond the performances themselves, attendees can enhance their concert experience through a variety of optional venue amenities designed to provide additional convenience and comfort. Available upgrades include Premier Parking for easier venue access, VIP Club Access, Party Deck experiences, Shore Club Cabanas for premium hospitality, VIP Fast Lane entry, Lawn Chair Rentals for guests enjoying the lawn seating areas, and blanket rentals for those looking to relax during the show. These optional experiences are separate from concert admission and allow guests to customize their evening according to their preferred style of concertgoing.
