Long Island Favorites The Chads Set to Share the Stage with Gone Stereo, Amboy, and Major Moment in Patchogue

Long Island pop punk ska powerhouse The Chads are set to bring their signature high-energy performance to 89 North Music Venue in Patchogue on Friday, June 19, 2026, as part of a stacked lineup featuring Gone Stereo, Amboy, and Major Moment.

Known for their infectious hooks, driving rhythms, and crowd-engaging live shows, The Chads have become one of Long Island’s most exciting emerging bands. Blending elements of pop punk, ska, rock, and alternative music, the group delivers an energetic sound that keeps audiences singing, dancing, and coming back for more.

The band—Joy Van Axen, Michael Khan, Mark Warga, and Santino Farro—has built a loyal fan base through relentless live performances and a growing reputation as one of the region’s must-see acts.

Their recent accomplishments include winning the WEHM Battle of the Bands, performing on the Jumbalaya Stage at the Great South Bay Music Festival, and appearing on WPIX’s New York Living, helping establish them as one of the most talked-about independent bands on the Long Island music scene.

With plans to enter the studio with producer Jason Mekler to record a new EP, The Chads are entering an exciting new phase of their career. Fans attending the June 19 show will have a chance to experience the band’s explosive live energy before the release of new music.
