Atlantic City Boardwalk Con Announces Exclusive Concert

The first annual Atlantic City Boardwalk Con (ACBC), which will bring together the worlds of comics, cosplay and “all things geek” in Atlantic City, New Jersey, announced today that New Politics will headline a concert that will also include fan-favorite, September Mourning, in a region-exclusive event at ACBC. The concert will take place at the Atlantic City Convention Center on Friday, May 15th. ACBC will run from May 14-17, 2015, at the same venue. The first full-sized convention of its genre in the city, ACBC will kick-off the 2015 East Coast, spring comic convention season.  

New Politics has toured world-wide with Fall Out Boy, 30 Seconds to Mars, Paramore and Neon Trees. Fresh off their Top 10 hit “Harlem”, New Politics is touring and promoting their latest single, “Everywhere I Go (Kings and Queens).” Through their unique combination of musical styles including punk, pop, ballads and rock numbers, they have developed a signature sound that is all their own.

September Mourning, an Alternative, hard rock band, which features pop, metal, and electronic overtones, all within a very theatrical stage presence, also boasts a loyal fan base.

In addition to the live concert, members of both New Politics and September Mourning will be on-site at ACBC for meet-and-greet sessions and autograph signings with attendees of the convention on Friday, May 15th.
