Get ready for a weekend of sun, shoreline, and sound. Soundside Music Festival, Connecticut’s premier live music celebration, is back at Seaside Park in Bridgeport for its second year, and it’s doubling down on its mission to bring top-tier talent to the Long Island Sound. Presented by C3 Presents, the two-day costal event will take place September 27-28, 2025, with an all-star lineup headlined by The Killers on Saturday and Hozier on Sunday.

Also joining the bill are iconic rockers Weezer (led by Connecticut native Rivers Cuomo), indie royalty Vampire Weekend, viral favorite Djo (aka Joe Keery of “Stranger Things”), alt-pop visionary Remi Wolf, genre-bending darling Japanese Breakfast, rising British rockers The Last Dinner Party, and Connecticut’s own Chelsea Cutler, plus a diverse cast of next-gen standouts like Inhaler, Rachel Chinouriri, Gigi Perez, and many more.

Held along the scenic shoreline of Seaside Park, Soundside promises a thoughtfully curated experience that mixes music, nature, and elevated festival vibes. The setup will again feature a rotating single-stage design, allowing fans to catch every act without the stress of schedule conflicts. It’s live music the way it should be—zero FOMO, all thrill.

Foodies can expect more than just standard festival fare. This year’s event will spotlight local culinary talent, craft cocktails, and premium beverage options—stay tuned for the full food vendor lineup coming soon.

Presale tickets dropped Thursday, April 3 from 10 to 11 a.m. ET, offering fans guaranteed lowest prices for jsut one hour before prices rose for the public on-sale at 11 a.m. If you missed out on this year’s promotion, make sure to sign up for Soundside’s mailing list to ensure the best deals for next year!
