House of Independents summer schedule includes Taylor Swift Dance Party

The weather is heating up — and so is the concert scene at the House of Independents.

After a social media post earlier this month announced the Asbury Park venue would be reopening, the HOI on Monday, April 15, released a schedule of shows coming this summer.

The first one is Sunday, June 9, with the Latin Social Brunch. Other big events include The Taylor Party! "The TS Dance Party!" on Friday, June 21, and the Bieber Party! "Justin Bieber Night" on Friday, July 12.

Also scheduled is the Jersey Shore Freestyle, featuring TKA on Friday, June 28; Game Changer Wrestling returns to House of Independents on Sunday, Aug. 4.

More shows are slated to be announced at the venue's website.

Elizabeth-based music promoter Concert Crave, which has purchased the Asbury Park venue on Cookman Avenue, made their name booking some of the hottest acts in hip-hop today. However, fans can expect a broader palette of music and events at the House of Independents, they said.

“It's hip-hop but it’s local acts of all different genres and a lot of touring stuff, as well," said Greg Diamond of Concert Crave. “We want to make sure we have a good balance of all genres across the board, maybe work in some country. We feel there are certain appetites in Asbury that aren’t being fed.”

The popular venue announced it was closing in November due to flooding from a September storm that caused about $500,000 in damages.
