Two Door Cinema Club
on The Stone Pony Summer Stage
with Flipturn

Doors: 6:30 PM
Show: 7:30 PM

Two Door Cinema Club mix guitar-driven post-punk hooks with dancey, electronic polish. They first gained attention with their 2010 debut album Tourist History and singles ‘Something Good Can Work’ and ‘Undercover Martyn’. The band have continued to evolve, peaking at #2 in the UK’s official Albums Chart with 2012’s Beacon, and experimenting with Giorgio Moroder-esque disco and synth pop on 2016’s Gameshow. The album also hit the UK Top 10 and paved the way for 2019’s new wave-inspired False Alarm and 2022’s Keep On Smiling.
Hailing from Bangor and Donaghadee, Northern Ireland, Two Door Cinema Club comprises lead vocalist, guitarist and programmer Alex Trimble, guitarist and vocalist Sam Halliday, and bassist and vocalist Kevin Baird. The trio began playing as Two Door Cinema Club in 2007 and continue to stand the test of time in 2024 and beyond.
With a back catalogue of five hugely successful records, sold out shows and headline festival slots across the globe, the band returned last year in 2023 with new single ‘Sure Enough’, alongside brand new U.S tour dates and additional UK arena dates in Hull, Doncaster and Liverpool. This year sees the band return to the Main Stage at Reading and Leeds Festival for a seventh time since their debut set on the NME/Radio 1 tent back in 2010.

A Stone Pony 50th Anniversary Event

Doors 6:30pm
Showtime 7 to 11 pm

John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band are celebrating the band’s 50th anniversary at this special Stone Pony 50th event!

Hailing from Rhode Island, the band quickly adopted New Jersey as their second home while becoming one of the hottest East Coast circuit bands by the late ’70s. JCBBB frequented top Jersey Shore venues including the Fastlane, Big Man’s West, Tony Mart’s and The Stone Pony. They burst on to the national scene in the 1980s with the Eddie and the Cruisers motion picture soundtrack.

The hit single On the Dark Side held the No. 1 position on the Billboard Rock charts and the MTV video charts for five consecutive weeks. The album sold more than 3 million copies and was certified Triple Platinum by the RIAA. The fictional band Eddie and the Cruisers portrayed in the film was ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the 25 greatest movie rock bands.

John Cafferty and the BBB is still revered by fans and critics alike as one of the top live rock shows around. Their shows are generally a good time rock ‘n’ roll marathon loaded with the Cafferty hits, fan favorites, and plenty of R&B classics. Three founding members are driving the band into their 50th year: Gary Gramolini on lead guitar, Michael “Tunes” Antunes on saxophone, and John Cafferty with vocals and guitar.

John and the band always work the Pony fans all over the venue. Be ready to grab your drinks if the band starts jamming on your bar! Join us for what is always a memorable Pony show. Early showtime ia 8 pm with special guests to be announced.

Road to Roots featuring Melody Trucks, Matt O’Ree Band, Des & The Swagmatics, Ryan Gregg & Friends

Road to Roots featuring Melody Trucks

Bringing the magic of Roots Rock Revival to the road that goes on forever. Melody Trucks has taken the vision of her Dad’s (Butch Trucks of the Allman Brothers Band) Music Masters camp, Roots Rock Revival, and moved it to the road. She is a percussionist and vocalist who is partnering with young musicians and is mentoring them in the ways of the music industry, while giving them a larger stage to showcase their talents. Melody has a deep understanding of how the music industry can underestimate the talents of the young. Road to Roots showcases these musicians with a mixture of music from her own musical history and her family’s legacy, while also letting them present their own original voices.

Matt O’Ree Band

Former guitarist for Bon Jovi, NY/NJ Blues Hall of Fame inductee, and crowned King Of The Blues by BB King himself, Matt O’Ree has been a driving force in the blues/rock music scene for the last twenty years. Garnering the attention of artists like Bruce Springsteen, David Bryan (Bon Jovi), Steve Cropper (Booker T & the MG’s), John Popper (Blues Traveler), Bernie Worell (P-Funk), and Hubert Sumlin (Howlin Wolf), all of whom had volunteered to perform on the band’s album, Brotherhood. The newest addition to the band, Eryn, an accomplished artist and songwriter in her own right, won awards such as the BELK Southern Musician Blues Showcase beating out thousands of competitors. She is the youngest artist to be inducted into the NJ/NY Blues Hall of Fame and has performed or opened for artists such as Don McLean, Gregg Allman, Johnny Winter, Robert Cray, Dr. John, Shemekia Copeland, The Gin Blossoms, Little River Band, Marcia Ball, Walter Wolfman Washington, Eric Lindell, Sonny Landreth, The Radiators, Johnny A and so many more. Combined this landed her a gig singing backup vocals with the Smashing Pumpkins on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Matt and Eryn joined forces about 3 years ago and began defining an original vintage-style rock n’ roll sound. They began touring nationally and internationally to rave fan reviews, oh yeah, and not to mention they are also married. Coined NJ’s favorite rock power couple, they and the band take their fans on a ride that hasn’t been heard or seen at this level since the ’70s. Their live show is like revisiting a Zeppelin concert at the Garden, and with Lex Lehman’s smooth soulful bass, John Hummel’s Bonham-esque drums, and Eryn and Layonne’s angelic and gutsy lead and backing vocals, combined with Matt’s blistering guitar, Matt and company have built a foundation that can hold up the biggest house on the block.
