Nor'easter Forces Full Cancellation of Oceans Calling Festival in Maryland
Oceans Calling, Maryland's largest music festival, was fully canceled for the weekend of September 25-27 due to a severe nor'easter. Organizers cited unsafe conditions, including high winds, flooding, and significant beach erosion, which prevented the safe construction of the event site. The cancellation affects a lineup featuring major acts like the Dave Matthews Band, Twenty One Pilots, and Gwen Stefani. While ticket refunds are being processed, many attendees have already incurred travel costs, and local businesses are facing lost revenue.
