Pop-punk veterans and newcomers head to Jersey’s Atlantic City beach for the very first Adjacent festival.
When: May 27-28
Where: Atlantic City, NJ
More Info: Here
When We Were Young, the Las Vegas festival predicated on Warped Tour nostalgia, was the first of its kind. But it looks like the East Coast will get its turn, as well. Adjacent is here to make sure that When We Were Young won’t monopolize the pop-punk playing field. Patrons can relive their wristband-clad glory days on the beach in Atlantic City, New Jersey over Memorial Day weekend.
The lineup is pretty impressive, to say the least. Paramore and Blink-182 (with Tom DeLonge, mind you) headline the two-day event as the genre’s respected vanguard. Other Warped Tour-core artists like Thursday, Motion City Soundtrack, and Jimmy Eat World will also perform, alongside more contemporary artists including indie staple Japanese Breakfast, New Jersey’s very own Bleachers, and hardcore frontrunners Turnstile. Smaller, rising acts like The Linda Lindas, Pinkshift, and Soul Glo are scheduled to perform, too.
