The 502s – The Up, Up, Up The Coast and Across The Pond Tour
The 502s – The Up, Up, Up The Coast and Across The Pond Tour arrives at the UNITED Theatre in Westerly on Saturday, August 8, bringing the Orlando-based indie folk band’s upbeat sound to Rhode Island for an all-ages concert.

Known as “the happiest band on Earth,” The 502s have built a devoted following with their blend of indie folk, Americana, pop, and beach-inspired storytelling. Their concerts are less about standing still and more about celebrating together, with audiences singing, clapping, and dancing from the opening song through the encore.
Set inside the beautifully restored UNITED Theatre, the concert offers fans the chance to experience one of today’s fastest-rising folk-pop bands in an intimate venue known for its exceptional sound and welcoming atmosphere.
About The 502s
Formed in Orlando, Florida, The 502s have become known for crafting joyful, feel-good songs filled with infectious melodies, acoustic instruments, and uplifting lyrics. Their music blends folk, indie rock, pop, and Americana into a sound that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
Their 2025 album Easy Street takes listeners to an imaginary beach town where sunshine, friendship, and carefree living set the tone. The concept album showcases the band’s playful songwriting while expanding their signature sound.
Among the album’s standout tracks is “Your Nonsense Makes Sense,” an upbeat anthem celebrating friendship, individuality, and finding joy in life’s everyday moments.
A High-Energy Live Show
The 502s have earned a reputation as one of the most entertaining live bands on the touring circuit. Their concerts feature spirited vocals, acoustic guitars, banjo, mandolin, horns, and audience participation that transforms every show into a communal celebration.
Fans can expect a mix of newer songs from Easy Street alongside many of the band’s most popular favorites.
