Boardwalk Rock, a festival that debuted in May 2025 in Ocean City, Maryland, will return May 14 to 16, 2027.
The festival, held along the beach in Ocean City, sold out its inaugural event on May 17 and 18, 2025, before taking 2026 off and expanding to three days in 2027. It is produced by C3 Presents, the promoter behind a number of festivals nationwide, including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and When We Were Young, as well Oceans Calling and Country Calling, both of which also take place in Ocean City.
“Boardwalk Rock quickly became a highlight of Ocean City’s spring event calendar,” Ocean City Business Development Director Tom Perlozzo said in late 2025. “While we are disappointed to take a pause in 2026, we are fully committed to working with C3 Presents to bring the festival back stronger than ever in 2027.
“The town looks forward to welcoming Boardwalk Rock back to Ocean City in 2027 and remains committed to collaborating with C3 Presents to plan the next edition. We thank the music fans, our residents and Ocean City visitors for their continued support and enthusiasm for this beloved event. We look forward to a great festival in 2027!”
The 2025 festival featured headliners Def Leppard, Nickelback, Shinedown and Rob Zombie, plus Alice Cooper, Halestorm, Bush, Mammoth, Extreme, Everclear, Three Days Grace, Bret Michaels and others.
