Atlantic City Attracts New Summer Festival

The organizers of an outdoor music festival titled Electric Adventure Bloom will move their August festival to Atlantic City from Seaside Heights this summer.

Atlantic City will host a new summer festival this year as the Electric Adventure Bloom premieres August 1 and 2 on four acres of the beach in front of the former Atlantic Club casino.

The festival will feature more than 100 performers on five stages. Listeners will hear mainstream electronic dance music, commonly known as EDM, along with hip-hop, house, trance and other music genres. The artists who will appear include Dillon Francis, G-Eazy, Pretty Lights, Machine Gun Kelly and 3Lau, according to a press release from festival organizers.

Bloom will also include beach volleyball, cabanas, ocean swimming and VIP packages. Bloom is Electric Adventure’s biggest and most musically diverse lineup. Throughout the weekend, Bloom pre- and after-parties are planned in multiple venues near the festival site.

Bloom marks the organizers’ fourth year and fifth festival. Their first was in 2012 at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township NJ. Last summer the festival was held on the beach in Seaside Heights NJ, the release said.
