Mumford and Sons perform during Innings Festival at Tempe Town Lake in Tempe on Feb. 20, 2026.

The 2026 Oceans Calling Festival lineup is here.

The star-studded grouping of artists, announced March 3, is loaded from top to bottom with music's biggest names across genres. The festival, put on by O.A.R. and C3 Presents, is returning for the fourth time to Ocean City, Maryland, along the beach and Boardwalk from Sept. 25–27.

The popular, three-day event drew some 162,000 fans in total in 2025. This year, organizers seem intent on topping that figure, tapping heavyweights like Mumford & Sons and Twenty One Pilots to perform.

Here's a look at the full line-up for all three days of performances.

This year's festival leans into early 2000s nostalgia and alt-rock glory. Titans of the genre like Hootie & the Blowfish and Goo Goo Dolls are slated to perform, while the event also leans into mid-size folk acts like Caamp and throwback acts like Hanson.

Robert Irvine, Antonia Lofaso and more acclaimed chefs are also set to take the stage throughout the three-day extravaganza alongside returning host Jason Biggs.
