With a small craft advisory and coastal flood warning in effect around Ocean City, Maryland, some ticket holders are wondering whether Oceans Calling is still on.
Is the festival cancelled?
No. Organizers have confirmed the festival is still going ahead. The advisory and flood warning are active through early Friday morning, and the response so far has been to adjust the schedule, not cancel the event.
What actually changed
Because of the forecast, Friday’s schedule was adjusted:
- Gates open at 1 p.m. instead of the original time
- All performances are delayed by an hour
- Curfew is pushed back an hour to match
A few operational details around merchandise and the box office were also adjusted for Thursday — see Oceans Calling’s own announcement for the full list.
Should you still expect changes?
Possibly. Organizers said they’ll share further updates as more information comes in, which suggests Friday’s plan — or even other days — could still be adjusted depending on how the weather develops.
Bottom line
As of now, Oceans Calling 2026 is happening, just with a delayed Friday start. If you’re planning to attend, checking the festival’s official page or social accounts shortly before you leave is the safest way to catch any last-minute update.
