LONG POND, Pa. (May 27, 2025) – The Beast Infield Block Party will unleash eight bands, a comedy show and fireworks display over the course of three days during The Great American Getaway 400 presented by VISITPA.COM NASCAR tripleheader set for June 20-22 at Pocono Raceway.
Monster Brewing’s Beast returns as the block party title sponsor with an enhanced presence and a three-year partnership for the annual entertainment event in the center of the Pocono Raceway infield. The block party will feature exclusive product offerings and specials as well as product sales and samplings throughout the race weekend.
“We’re pumped to be renewing our partnership with Pocono Raceway and for the return of The Beast Infield Block Party!” said J. David Rich, Monster Brewing Company Regional Marketing Manager – East. “If there’s one thing this brand knows, it’s a good party, and last year showed us just how rowdy the party at Pocono is! We’re going bigger and better than ever with some new additions in both the infield and out in the Fan Zone, so the only way this year can get any better is when Tyler (Reddick) parks The Beast 45 in Victory Lane on Sunday! Really excited to get back to Pocono to Unleash the Beast with the fans!”
The Beast Infield Block Party actually gets the action – and party – started at Pocono Raceway before NASCAR even hits the track. On Thursday, June 19, alt-country music artist Jack Wilder will perform the opening set from 6-8 p.m. Wilder will be followed by M80, a multi-award-winning retro cover band that performs the best of the 1980s and ‘90s, from 8-11:30 p.m.
The next night – Friday, June 20 – will sandwich a comedy show in the middle of a pair of bands. The progressive pop punk band Don’t Wait Up opens from 5-8 p.m. They will be followed by the one-hour Laughs at the Track Comedy Show beginning at 8 p.m. The evening closes with the Philadelphia-based band Steal The Sky, who will mix pop, rock and dance music in an eclectic but accessible blend from 9-11:30 p.m.
The final day of The Beast Infield Block Party on Saturday, June 21, will be the busiest with four musical acts and fireworks. The day opens with Bethlehem-based DJ DizzyMop from 1-3 p.m. Lakini’s Rooster, a ‘90s best alternative rock tribute band from Stroudsburg, will follow from 5-7 p.m.
Up next will be South Penn Dixie, known as the premier country party band of the Northeast, from 7-9:30 p.m. Nazareth’s own Turning The Tide will bring a mix of the best of rock, pop and alternative from 9:30-11:30 p.m. The final night will be highlighted by a fireworks show beginning at approximately 9:30 p.m.
The Beast Infield Block Party also will have a variety of food vendors and displays. Please visit Pocono Raceway’s digital event guide on its website for more details at www.poconoraceway.com/eventguide.
Fans planning to camp in the infield to have easy access to The Beast Infield Block Party may want to act soon since limited spots remain.
For race attendees unable to visit The Beast Infield Block Party but a fan of Beast products, sales and samplings also will be available at the Fan Fair throughout the weekend. Also, fans in the grandstands will have access to The Beast Car Bar – a replica of Reddick’s 23XI Racing Beast race car – to purchase products.
The upcoming weekend will feature a NASCAR national series race each day, beginning with the CRAFTMAN Truck Series MillerTech Battery 200 on Friday, June 20, at 5 p.m. That race will be followed by the Xfinity Series Explore the Pocono Mountains 250 on Saturday, June 21, at 3:30 p.m. The weekend culminates with The Great American Getaway 400 presented by VISITPA.COM on Sunday, June 22, beginning at 2 p.m. ET.
