The Shadow of the City Festival is back for a second run in Seaside Heights. Pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen and British alt-pop stars The 1975 will headline the beach concert Saturday, June 18.

Antonoff’s former indie rock band, Steel Train will reunite at the show for the first time in three years.

Other acts to perform include Shamir, Børns, Frnkiero andthe Cellabration, Bishop Briggs and Hana.
