New Jersey State Legislature, Monmouth County, and the City of Asbury Park recently commemorated the Stone Pony’s golden anniversary with a proclamation of Stone Pony Day on February 8, 2024.

The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, one of the world’s best-known music venues, opened its doors on Feb. 8, 1974, in a building that formerly housed a popular restaurant called Mrs. Jay’s. Founders John P. “Jack” Roig and Robert “Butch” Pielka first met while working in a club on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights, and the rest was history, Locals like Bruce Springsteen, Southside Johnny, and Steve Van Zandt helped put the venue on the map, while today’s top artists and rising stars continue building a musical legacy. Artists that have graced the stage include Elvis Costello, The Ramones, Cheap Trick, Green Day, Oasis, No Doubt, blink-182, The Band, Iggy Pop, AFI, Warren Zevon, Joan Osborne, Luke Combs, Weezer, The 1975, Bleachers, and many more.

Highlights of the Stone Pony 2024 summer concert series include two shows with Fletcher & Friends as part of Pride Weekend on June 1 and June 2; Lake Street Dive on June 14; Bleachers on June 15; T-PAIN on June 21, Jake Owen on June 22; O.A.R. with Fitz and the Tantrums on July 19; Sad Summer Festival on August 4; The Gaslight Anthem on August 16; and more.

For 50 years the Stone Pony has been an essential part of the soundtrack of summer for so many who reside or visit Asbury Park, NJ. We are so excited for our upcoming 50th anniversary summer celebration with so many wonderful artists who will join us some incredible nights of live music under the stars. Once again, we’re on pace to be a record setting summer.
