When the promoters of the first Oceans Calling festival in Ocean City promised a star-studded lineup, they weren’t kidding.
The lineup, which came out Monday morning, is stacked with entertainers you wouldn’t normally find in Ocean City, starting with the headliners: The Lumineers, Alanis Morissette and, yes, Dave Matthews with Tim Nelson (really, that Dave Matthews!)
And the slate of entertainers is deep for the three-day festival, set to come to the resort from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2. Matthews and Nelson headline the first night, with Dirty Heads, O.A.R. and more on the bill.
For Oct 1, the Lumineers lead the bill, with Cage the Elephant, Jimmy Eat World, Pup Punk and more also in the lineup.
Along with headliner Alanis Morissette on Oct. 2, get your ’80s fix on with Cyndi Lauper, then jam along with Sublime, St. Paul and the Broken Bones and more.
