On June 17, 2025, The String Cheese Incident performed inside the stunning 2,800-capacity Prudential Hall, which bears a slight resemblance to The Met in Philadelphia, albeit considerably smaller. Not only was this their first performance at the venue, it was also their first show in the Garden State’s largest city.

Kyle Hollingsworth is thrilled to share a brand new song “Carnival” - out now via SCI Fidelity Records. “I wrote this one recently, based on a piano melody I was playing around with. The lyrics speak to the ‘carnival’ lifestyle many traveling musicians live.  This is also definitely a nod to my life with The String Cheese Incident,” says Hollingsworth of the new track.  “Carnival” will be part of a future solo album from Kyle Hollingsworth.

The uniqueness of this show was that all of the artists know one another and are friends and some of them collaborate together on musical projects.
