Southside Johnny & Asbury Jukes Do NJ's First Drive-In Concert

OCEANPORT, NJ — The same day The Stone Pony in Asbury Park announced they are canceling their outdoor Summer Stage series, the Count Basie Center for the Arts announced they will launch New Jersey’s first-of-its kind “drive-in” concert experience this summer.

The drive-in concert will be held live on the stage at Monmouth Park on Saturday, July 11 and the first show will be from Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes.

“The Asbury Jukes and I are so excited that we can play this first of its kind live concert and help get New Jersey started on a quick and healthy return to normal,” said “Southside” Johnny Lyon. “Why sit at home when ‘We’re Havin’ A Party,’ drive-in style? We’ll safely see everyone July 11.”

Tickets are $150 per vehicle, $250/$225 gold circle and they go on sale Friday, June 5 at 10 a.m. exclusively via Ticketmaster.com and phone charge at 800-745-3000.

A maximum of four occupants will be permitted per vehicle.

Future shows have not yet been announced.
