originally published: 02/10/2025

(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- As part of the Prudential North to Shore Festival, Slightly Stoopid will bring their new tour, Step Into The Sun Summer 2025, to Stone Pony Summer Stage on Sunday, June 22, 2025 at 6:30pm. They will be joined by support acts Iration and Little Stranger.

Since their inception in 1995, Slightly Stoopid—fronted by the incredibly versatile duo Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald—has evolved a unique fusion of rock, reggae, acoustic soul, hip-hop, heavy metal, and punk rock. They have achieved both artistic freedom and commercial success while staying true to their DIY ethos. The band has grown from an original trio to a seven-piece ensemble, becoming a generational leader in a burgeoning subculture and lifestyle movement.

“We’re thrilled to hit the road this summer with our longtime friends Iration and to welcome Little Stranger to the family,” said Miles Doughty of Slightly Stoopid. “We have some new tunes that we're eager to share, and we’re particularly excited to perform at some venues we’ve yet to explore.”

Tickets are available for purchase online. Stone Pony Summer Stage is located at 913 Ocean Avenue in Asbury Park, New Jersey.

Launched in 2023, the North 2 Shore festival is a unique combination of performances by artists beloved both internationally and in their hometowns. In its first two years, the festival brought in more than $25 million for ticketed events and has drawn a total audience of over 500,000 to more than 650 shows in approximately 250 venues in Newark, Asbury Park and Atlantic City.

Once again, both global headliners and artists who hail from cities along the festival route will take the stage in front of an audience drawn from across the region. North to Shore Community Arts Awards will be given to artists, arts organizations, nonprofits, and small businesses to produce and present free festival events. Additionally, the festival will now include season-long community engagement events in Atlantic City.
