On a breezy summer night at Jones Beach, AJR delivered a performance that was nothing short of electric. From the moment they stepped on stage, the brothers radiated energy, constantly interacting with fans and making the massive venue feel like an intimate gathering.
One of the most unexpected and hilarious moments of the night came when AJR invited fans on stage for a wheelbarrow race. The crowd erupted in laughter and cheers, a perfect example of the band’s knack for blending music with playful and unforgettable moments.
The visuals throughout the show were stunning, with bold graphics and vibrant lighting that made each song feel like a unique experience. Midway through the set, AJR surprised fans by performing “Betty”, a new song from their latest EP. Hearing it live for the first time was a special treat, and the audience sang along like it had been a classic for years.
The night began with opener Chelsea Cutler, whose heartfelt lyrics and warm stage presence set the perfect tone. She effortlessly connected with the crowd and left everyone buzzing for the main event.

As the encore began, AJR took things to an entirely new level when a full marching band emerged and moved through the crowd as horns blared and drums pounded. The energy was electric, the kind of moment that leaves goosebumps and makes you wish the night would never end.
From start to finish, AJR’s Jones Beach show was a perfect blend of music, humor, and crowd connection, a reminder of why live music is pure magic.
