Oceans Calling Festival tickets — Ocean City, Maryland

Three Days of Rock, Pop, and Indie on Ocean City’s Beachfront Boardwalk

Festival Information

Oceans Calling Festival tickets put you in the heart of a three-day, multi-genre celebration on the Ocean City Boardwalk in Maryland. Founded in 2022 by O.A.R. in partnership with C3 Presents, the annual festival has quickly become a major destination event on the East Coast thanks to its high-profile lineups and oceanfront setting.

Created to harness Ocean City’s iconic seaside energy, the festival’s story includes a weather-related cancellation in 2022 followed by a successful debut in 2023 and a return in 2024. Building on that momentum, Oceans Calling continues to grow its national profile, with Dave Matthews Band returning as a headliner in 2026.

With three stages and over 40 performances each year, the Oceans Calling Festival schedule spans rock, pop, alternative, indie, and jam bands—blending established stars with crowd-favorite acts. Set against the Atlantic shoreline and the historic Ocean City Inlet, the programming pairs big-stage energy with a relaxed beach vibe.

Notable headliners and performers have included Dave Matthews Band, Mumford & Sons, My Morning Jacket, O.A.R., John Mayer, Alanis Morissette, The Lumineers, and Jack Johnson. That depth and range showcase the caliber of artists Oceans Calling attracts, from chart-toppers to live-performance powerhouses.

Beyond the music, the festival experience taps into the best of the Boardwalk—local food vendors, boardwalk amusements, interactive exhibits, and art installations—creating a high-energy yet family-friendly atmosphere. Oceanfront activities and easy access to classic Ocean City attractions round out an unforgettable weekend.

The festival typically lands in late September, and coastal weather can shift from sunny and warm to windy and cool.
