Annie DiRusso

Annie DiRusso brings her sharp, guitar-driven indie rock to one of the most legendary venues on the Jersey Shore — the Stone Pony in Asbury Park. Known for her candid lyricism and raw, electric energy, DiRusso has quickly become one of the most exciting emerging voices in the rock and pop world, and seeing her perform live is an experience that feels both intimate and anthemic. DiRusso appears as part of the massive Shadow of the City festival on Saturday, May 23, 2026 — Jack Antonoff's beloved annual celebration of music on the Asbury Park waterfront. Sharing the bill with headliners Bleachers, indie favorites Real Estate, post-grunge legends Toadies, and the effervescent Grace Ives, Annie's set promises to be a standout moment in a day packed with exceptional performances. The Stone Pony's storied outdoor stage, with the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop, sets the perfect scene for her brand of emotionally charged, hook-laden rock. Asbury Park itself is a pilgrimage destination for music lovers, steeped in a legacy that stretches from Springsteen to the present day. Shadow of the City carries that tradition forward every year, drawing devoted fans from across the country. Catching Annie DiRusso here, on this stage, surrounded by this lineup, is the kind of live music moment you'll talk about for years.
