A hit for years on the West Coast, this combination pop music-foodie festival makes a splash in the East, proving that oysters are the perfect accompaniment for just about anything. Swedish electropop duo Icona Pop ("I Love It"), who've opened for Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and One Direction, lead an impressive lineup at this outdoor concert event on Hoboken's Pier A, which also features pop punk chart-toppers Plain White T's ("Hey There Delilah," "Rhythm of Love"), hip-hop artist Desiigner ("Panda") and Norwegian duo Nico & Vinz ("Am I Wrong"). And then there's the seafood aspect of the event, which offers everything you ever wanted to know about oysters and more, including chef demos and history exhibits. Fresh oysters from Long Island to Baja and British Columbia will be available for purchase, as well as cooked varieties of the bivalve, other food options for the non-oyster-lover and craft beer, wine and cocktails to wash it all down.
