Long Island’s largest and longest-running four-day music festival will return this summer celebrating its 15th anniversary, presented by Island Federal and sponsored by Voodoo Ranger, on July 20 to 23 at Shorefront Park in Patchogue Village.

“It’s the second one back since the COVID break. We’re excited about the lineup; there are a bunch of new food items and food trucks and children’s shows, but most of all, for all the music and entertainment,” said festival producer Jim Faith. “And, we’re really excited about the location. Shorefront Park is almost finished, and that’s going to be beautiful when it’s done.”

Earlier this year, in January, the Village of Patchogue broke ground at Shorefront Park with a living shoreline project, which is expected to be completed soon.

There will be a full lineup of over 55 performers on four stages, in classic and contemporary rock, blues, indie, jam, pop, Americana, country, reggae, alternative and funk genres. Headliners include Electric Hot Tuna, Dirty Heads, Phil Lesh & Friends, Govt. Mule and more.

“This will be the most production we ever had; we’re bringing in trailers of laser lights and screens,” Faith said of the show, also noting that the Electric Hot Tuna show will be their final electric show on Long Island. “It’s going to be really amazing. No one will ever see that again.”

There will also be over 30 emerging local artists, including Miles to Dayton, Soundswell, Phil Firetog Trio & Co., Kerry Kearney, and Cassandra House.

Children are also welcome, with specially commissioned music and performances by Rockin’ Ron the Friendly Pirate, on Saturday; Cheryl the One Women, on Saturday and Sunday; Funky Town Playground, on Saturday; Bewitching Magic, on Sunday; and the Ted E Bear Puppet show, Sunday.

New food vendors include lobster rolls, ramen, an oyster bar, smoothies, and Thai. Faith estimates about 20,000 people will attend the festival throughout the weekend.

Tickets are available to purchase now at www.greatsouthbaymusicfestival.com. Great South Bay Music Fest is also a proud part of the community and is committed to supporting the less fortunate, as they plan to continue to donate $1 from every ticket sold to the GSB-Stony Brook Cancer Center Fund. To date, the fest has raised over a quarter of a million dollars for the cancer center.
