On the Bay Fest

Event Details

On The Bay Fest (formerly Bayville Music Festival) has a new home this year — the waterfront Sandbox at Seastreak in Highlands, NJ. Hosted by Jersey’s own Green Knuckle Material, this is shaping up to be the biggest year yet.

Headlined by The Warped Tour Band, expect a full night of emo and pop punk classics from Taking Back Sunday, MCR, Blink-182, Fall Out Boy, Green Day, and more. If you grew up on these songs, you already know.

Rain or shine. Grab your tickets and kick off Summer 2026 right.

The Lineup

• The Warped Tour Band — Live covers of your favorite songs by Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, Blink-182, New Found Glory, Green Day, Good Charlotte, Sum 41, Fall Out Boy, Yellowcard, The Used, Brand New, and more.
• Green Knuckle Material — Festival hosts and Jersey Shore staples. Hard-hitting four-piece with catchy hooks, energetic grooves, and guitar work that’ll make you feel things.
• Punchline — Pittsburgh pop-punk veterans with a cult following and a reputation for never going away. Bridging emo-pop and punk since the early 2000s.
• Echo Plum — Pine Beach, NJ indie rock/dream-pop with lush, reverb-heavy guitars and high-energy live shows.
• Keep Flying — NYC six-piece blending punk, emo, pop-punk, and ska (yes, there’s a saxophone and trombone). Known for relatable lyrics and high-energy sets.
• Halogens — NJ pop-punk/emo quartet with a DIY ethos and emotionally raw sound. Think The Front Bottoms energy with a dedicated local following to match.
• Don’t Panic — Pennsylvania melodic pop-punk performing an acoustic set. Think Foo Fighters meets Bayside.
