Yesterday we reported that the first day of Ocean City, MD’s Oceans Calling had been cancelled due to weather. However due to the revised westward track of the Nor’easter, the festival as a whole will no longer take place.

The event has released the following statement:

The National Weather Service is reporting a stronger and more updated westward track of the Nor’easter storm system. Tides, floods, and high winds have prevented us from safely continuing the build of Oceans Calling Festival.   

Following the advice of the National Weather Service and in cooperation with local public officials, we must make the difficult decision to cancel Oceans Calling 2026. 

All ticket types purchased directly through Front Gate Tickets will be fully and automatically refunded in as little as 30 days to the original method of payment.

Thank you to the Oceans Calling fans. We know how far you have travelled, and the time and energy you have put into being here. If you are in town already and staying through the weekend; please enjoy Ocean City and be safe. 

Dave Matthews Band, My Morning Jacket, Mumford & Sons, Hootie & The Blowfish, Gwen Stefani and Twenty One Pilots are among the artists who had been slated to perform.
