Ocean City, Maryland in the fall is usually a magical place as the final days of summer clash with the early days of autumn to create a beautifully relaxing atmosphere.
Oceans Calling 2024 will be adding a whole heaping of amazing music and delicious food to this near perfect seasonal combination from Friday September 27 to Sunday September 29. To say this lineup is stacked is the equivalent of telling you water is wet and the big yellow thing in the sky is the sun.
On Friday September 27, pop punk legends Blink-182, who are riding a massive comeback, will headline at all-star card that includes: Cage the Elephant, Sublime, 311, O.A.R., The Revivalists, The Darkness, Sugar, Larkin Poe, Tonic, Phillip Phillips, Winona Fighter (what a name), and Vincent Lima.
On Saturday September 28, The Killers will take Ocean City to “Sam’s Town” with an epic set. Joining them will be The Offspring, Rebelution, The Beach Boys (who are must-watch), Young the Giant, All-American Rejects, Grouplove, Switchfoot, Tom Odell, Trevor Hall, The Samples and Katelyn Tarver.
Oceans Calling 2024 closes on Sunday September 29 with The Dave Matthews Band — who are a phenomenal watch on a beachfront (we’ve seen them do this at Sea.Hear.Now in Asbury Park, NJ). Joining them will be Mt. Joy, Counting Crows, Boyz II Men, Barenaked Ladies, Blues Traveler (performing Four in its entirety), Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Guster, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Lisa Loeb, Jade Bird and Stephen Kellog.
O.A.R. and Friends will perform a special set as well.
If that wasn’t enough — Oceans Calling 2024 will have celebrity ches on hand. They include Chef Robert Irvine (of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives), Amanda Freitag and Marc Murphy. Actor Jason Biggs will host the chef appearances. They will be doing culinary exhibitions throughout the festival.
According to press release, “locally curated food vendors, access to the Ocean City Boardwalk, and the iconic Jolly Roger at the Pier amusement park, located inside the festival grounds, will once again be fully operational for festival goers, as admission will be included within the purchase of an Oceans Calling Festival ticket.”
