Light of Day 2020 schedule

The 2020 Light of Day festival will take place Jan. 10-20 in Asbury Park and elsewhere.

Tickets are now on sale for the 2020 Light of Day festival, but many details are yet to be announced. Traditionally, they are not all announced together, but come out, bit by bit, in the weeks leading up to the festival. So I’ve decided to keep, here, a schedule of the Jan. 10-20 festival, and update it whenever possible.

So here is the schedule, with as much detail as currently possible, and ticket links. Many more shows, of course, will eventually be added.

For more information, visit lightofday.org.
