Electronic dance concert coming to Atlantic City beachfront

ATLANTIC CITY (AP) — An electronic dance music festival is coming to the Atlantic City beachfront in August.

Called "Bloom," the festival will feature more than 100 acts on five stages, including Pretty Lights, Dillon Francis, G-Eazy, 3Lau and Machine Gun Kelly.

The festival started in 2012 at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township. Last year it was held on the beach in Seaside Heights.

Throughout the weekend of Aug. 1-2, pre- and after-parties are planned in multiple venues near the four-acre festival site in front of the former Atlantic Club casino.

Parking will be a short walk away at Bader Field.

Music will run from 3 p.m. to midnight both days.

Tickets for the weekend are $129 and are available at ElectricAdventure.com .
