Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim said Soundside Music Festival is unlike any other event they’ve had. He said over the past four years, the festival has brought $2 million in direct revenue to the city.
“I mean the event bringing in 60,000 people, many of whom have never been to Seaside Park, never been to Fairfield County or Connecticut, have a great experience, maybe a life memory, artists that they just love,” Ganim said.

At The Archive, a record store in Bridgeport, store manager Bryan Brown was pleasantly surprised at this year's line up.
“I’ve been a fan of Weezer for so long. It's kinda crazy to see them right in our backyard of the shop it's pretty cool,” Brown said.
He said last year he saw an increase in foot traffic at his store around the time of the festival, and will be preparing for the same this time around.
“There’s a lot of people that came through and so many of the same mindset of like “I’m here for music, what other music related stuff is in the area," Brown said.
Presale tickets are available on Thursday, April 3 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Prices will increase at 11 a.m. when the public sale begins.
