The Killers, Blink-182 and the Dave Matthews Band are set to headline the 2024 Ocean's Calling Festival, which returns to Ocean City this fall.
Last year, this seaside music festival drew about 50,000 people for a weekend of entertainment on multiple stages. The event was first held in 2023, a year later than planned, after organizers were forced to cancel the inaugural festival in 2022 due to the remnants of Hurricane Ian.
One of the headliners scheduled to perform in 2022 was the Dave Matthews Band, which will debut at this year's Ocean's Calling Festival.
Other artists scheduled to enjoy the three-day music festival include Cage the Elephant, Sublime, The Offspring, Mount Joy, Counting Crows, 311, Boyz II Men, OAR, Lisa Loeb, Includes Big Head Todd and the Beach Boys and the Monsters. And naked women.
A total of 30 performers will appear on one of three stages. Additionally, Food Network's “Restaurant of Impossible” host Robert Irvin, celebrity chef Amanda Freitag and frequent “Chopped” judge chef Mark Murphy will join the show, hosted by actor Jason Biggs. He plans to give a cooking demonstration at the event. Local restaurants will also be open. The Jolly Roger Pier Amusement Park and boardwalk will remain accessible during the festival, and admission to the Jolly Roger is included in the ticket price.
Tickets go on sale Thursday at 10 a.m. Admission is offered in 1-day, 3-day, VIP, Platinum, and Ultimate packages. The VIP package includes admission to the lounge and air-conditioned toilets, plus the purchase of a drink in your private bar.
