(NEWARK, NJ) -- The Prudential North to Shore Festival is set to present an incredible night of alternative rock featuring Third Eye Blind at New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) on Friday, June 20, 2025 at 8:00pm. Canadian indie rock band Stars will open the night.

 For over 25 years, Third Eye Blind has been crafting anthems that feel like personal letters written just for you. From the raw confessions in “Semi-Charmed Life” to the soaring catharsis of “Motorcycle Drive By,” their music connects deeply with fans. The band continues to evolve, proving that great bands don’t just survive; they thrive.

Get ready to create new memories in Newark, armed with both their classic hits and fresh tunes from their latest album, Our Bande Apart. Something remarkable happens when the lights go down at their shows: fans from three generations come together to sing every word in unison. This isn’t just a concert; it’s a celebration of the songs that have soundtracked our lives, performed by a band that has mastered the art of making every venue feel like home.

Joining Third Eye Blind will be Canadian indie rock band Stars, whose ethereal melodies are sure to set the stage for an unforgettable evening. Stars is a critically acclaimed indie pop band based in Montreal, Canada. Known for their evocative storytelling and lush, cinematic soundscapes, they have captivated audiences worldwide since their formation in 2000. The band's emotionally charged blend of indie rock, baroque pop, and synth-driven electronica is led by vocalists Torquil Campbell and Amy Millan, alongside Chris Seligman, Evan Cranley, and Pat McGee. Stars has built a reputation for delivering powerful live performances and poignant narratives that explore themes of love, loss, and human connection.

Tickets to see Third Eye Blind and Stars are available for purchase online or calling 888.GO.NJPAC (888.466.5722) or by visiting the NJPAC Box Office (1 Center Street) in Newark, New Jersey.
