Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alanis Morissette To Headline Sound On Sound 2023
Sound on Sound has unveiled its 2023 line-up which features headliners Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Mayer and Alanis Morissette.
The Bridgeport, Connecticut-based festival will take place 30 September to 1 October in Seaside Park, and its announcement on social media promises “a brand new festival experience, one massive stage + no overlapping sets!” for prospective attendees.

Tickets for Sound on Sound will go on sale today (March 9) at noon ET, with a presale for Citibank customers happening now. Additionally, the festival is holding a special giveaway for a pair of two-day VIP tickets on its official Instagram account. For more information, visit the event’s official website.
The 2023 iteration of Sound on Sound will serve as something of a reset for organizers after last year’s inaugural event — which featured headliners such as Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, Stevie Nicks and The Lumineers — was bogged down by long lines, sold-out food vendors and other organizational mishaps that left fans complaining in the comments section. Organizers vowed to improve the guest experience — even from the first to second day.
Ahead of the fest, Red Hot Chili Peppers will embark on their 2023 world tour, kicking off later this month at BC Plaza in Vancouver, while Mayer’s solo acoustic tour begins this Friday (March 11) at the Prudential Center in Newark.
Chili Peppers’ bassist Flea also recently announced that he is launching a star-studded new podcast, This Little Light.
The 15-part series will premiere on 30 March, and the initial run of guests includes Rick Rubin, Cynthia Erivo, Thundercat, Patti Smith, and Margo Price. The conversations will largely focus on guests’ discussing their first teachers, early influences, experiences, and how all these lessons shaped their creativity and careers.
