The Pietasters Returning to Supernova!
Pi(e) Day feels like the right time for this announcement! One of the worst-kept secrets at Supernova is that The Pietasters will be playing this year!
They'll be closing out the weekend with Jeff Rosenstock on Sunday and joining great bands all weekend like The Impossibles, The Planet Smashers, Suburban Legends, Catbite, Susan Cadogan, Eastern Standard Time, and many more!
Tons more bands coming! Grab your tickets today! https://supernovaska.com/tickets
2026 Supernova Line-Up
Jackie Mendez will be performing at Supernova this year, and in April, she is releasing her debut album, followed by an East Coast tour! Supernova and Bohemian Amigos Record Shop will be hosting her official Record Store Day party at the 110 Gallery in Hampton. Tickets are very limited; grab them today!
Catbite has been part of the ska community for years now — not just a band we book, but family we absolutely love having around. And their music is incredible too! Call Your Bluff, Bad Influence, Scratch Me Up, Excuse Me Miss, and Die in Denver are just a few tracks on repeat over the years. And in 2026, they’re bringing that unmistakable Philly fire back to Fort Monroe in Hampton!
Jamaican legend Susan Cadogan — The Queen of Lovers Rock — is coming to the 2026 Supernova! Hurt So Good. Nice & Easy. Piece of My Heart. Timeless songs. Timeless voice.
She’ll be backed by the unstoppable Eastern Standard Time — quite simply the greatest house band you could ever ask for.
JEFF ROSENSTOCK MAKES HIS SUPERNOVA DEBUT
A DIY hero with his roots in the ska-punk scene, Jeff Rosenstock is known for his genre-blending songwriting and explosive live shows. Supernova has been trying to get him on the bill since way back in 2018, but it never worked out until now. In a world that keeps getting louder and more chaotic by the moment, Jeff Rosenstock feels like the perfect artist for this moment.
The Impossibles are Reuniting!
For the first time since 2013, The Impossibles are reuniting to perform at Supernova!
Our epic ska beach party returns on September 12–13 — and it's already shaping up to be our best year ever!
Suburban Legends Coming to Supernova!
Big news! Suburban Legends are coming to Supernova! This Orange County, California band is a fan favorite, known for their over-the-top live shows and pure ska party energy. This is one of those sets where standing still simply isn’t an option.
