Oceans Calling Cancels Tomorrow’s Sets
The other week, Santa Monica's Ocean Way Festival was canceled due to beach erosion . Now, the first day of Maryland's Oceans Calling Festival has been canceled for similar reasons. The post Oceans Calling Cancels Tomorrow’s Sets appeared first on Stereogum .
Ocean City's Oceans Calling Festival has called off its opening day on Friday, September 25, due to beach erosion concerns. The event, which was set to feature headliners Dave Matthews Band and Hootie And The Blowfish, was scheduled to kick off on the boardwalk. Other performances were planned for Ludacris, O.A.R, Yellowcard, Shaggy, and Liz Phair.
The cancellation comes after extensive efforts by the production, site, safety teams, and city officials to address the ongoing weather issues. Unfortunately, the worsening conditions have made it unsafe to proceed with the festival's build-up on Friday. The safety of attendees, artists, crew, and the community remains paramount.
Festivalgoers who purchased 1-Day tickets and 33% of 3-Day tickets directly through Front Gate Tickets will receive automatic refunds within 30 days. Updates on the situation are expected to be shared via the festival's official channels. The festival had planned to continue on Saturday with Twenty One Pilots and Gwen Stefani headlining, and Sunday's performers would have been Mumford & Sons and Matchbox Twenty.
