The Killers, Dave Matthews Band and Blink-182 to headline Oceans Calling Festival in Ocean City in September
The Killers, Blink-182 and the Dave Matthews Band will headline the 2024 Oceans Calling Festival when it returns this fall to Ocean City.
Last year the beachfront music festival called some 50,000 people to attend a weekend of entertainment on multiple stages. The event took place for the first time in 2023, a year later than expected after organizers were forced to cancel the inaugural festival in 2022 due to remnants of Hurricane Ian.
One of the headliners that had been set to appear in 2022 was the Dave Matthews Band, which will make its debut at this year’s Oceans Calling Festival.
Other acts set to entertain at the three-day music festival include Cage The Elephant, Sublime, The Offspring, Mt. Joy, Counting Crows, 311, Boyz II Men, O.A.R., Lisa Loeb, Big Head Todd, The Beach Boys and the Monsters and Barenaked Ladies.
In all, three dozen performers will take to one of three the stages. In addition, Robert Irvine, host of “Restaurant of Impossible” on Food Network, celebrity chef Amanda Freitag and chef Marc Murphy, a judge frequently seen on “Chopped,” will present cooking demonstrations in an event hosted by actor Jason Biggs. Local food vendors will also be on tap. The Jolly Roger at the Pier amusement park and the boardwalk will remain accessible during the festival, with admission to Jolly Roger included in the ticket price.
Tickets go on sale Thursday at 10 a.m. Admission is offered in one-day, three-day, VIP, Platinum and Ultimate packages. VIP packages include admission to lounges and air-conditioned restrooms, plus the ability to purchase drinks from a private bar.
One-day general admission tickets start at $160. Three-day tickets start at $299. A multi-day VIP package starts at $875.
