Ocean City, Maryland’s newest music festival, has had a rough couple of weeks. Early in April, MOTLEY CRUE had to cancel their show, and ALICE IN CHAINS replaced the Crue on the lineup.
On May 7, Brad Arnold, the lead vocalist for 3 Doors Down, revealed that he’s been diagnosed with advanced-stage kidney cancer. This took 3 Doors Down off the festival lineup. Then, less than 48 hours later, Alice In Chains announced that due to medical issues within the band, they would no longer be able to perform at Boardwalk Rock.
Thankfully, the festival organizers were able to get ROB ZOMBIE to fill AIC‘s spot on the roster. Despite these last-minute changes, and let’s hope these are the last ones, the 2025 Inaugural Boardwalk Rock festival is still set to rock the Ocean City boardwalk in Maryland, May 17-18.
The day-by-day lineup is listed above. Also, remember, your festival ticket also provides access to the Iconic Jolly Roger at the Pier amusement park located inside the festival grounds. Additionally, fans will be able to frequent festival food vendors as well as the many Ocean City Boardwalk businesses, including restaurants, bars, shops, and more.
Limited tickets are remaining for the weekend. For the full list of ticket offerings and to purchase tickets, visit www.boardwalkrockfest.com/tickets. For full festival info, visit: www.boardwalkrockfest.com
