The Country Calling Festival will return to Ocean City, Maryland this fall with one of its biggest lineups yet. The three-day event, scheduled for October 3–5, 2025, will take place at the Ocean City Inlet and feature more than 25 acts across multiple stages, anchored by three of country music’s biggest names: Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, and Luke Combs.
Friday’s opening night will be headlined by Carrie Underwood and Brooks & Dunn, with additional performances by Jon Pardi, Tyler Hubbard, Tucker Wetmore, Chase Rice, and LeAnn Rimes. The weekend continues Saturday with Luke Bryan leading a bill that also includes Zach Top, Jordan Davis, Treaty Oak Revival, Flatland Cavalry, Wynonna Judd, Gretchen Wilson, LOCASH, Ingrid Andress, and The Band Perry. On Sunday, Luke Combs will close out the festival with a lineup that features Koe Wetzel, Ryan Bingham & The Texas Gentlemen, Gary Allan, Gavin Adcock, Gabby Barrett, Stephen Wilson Jr., Chase Matthew, Margo Price, The Castellows, Laci Kaye Booth, and Thelma & James.
The festival grounds will include three stages set up along the beach and boardwalk. Gates open at noon each day, with performances running into the evening. Tickets are available in single-day and three-day options, with tiers ranging from general admission to VIP packages. Children eight and under will be admitted free in GA areas with a ticketed adult, and food vendors will provide a variety of local and regional offerings, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
Now in its second year, Country Calling has quickly established itself as a major event on the East Coast country music calendar. Organizers expect the 2025 edition to draw thousands of fans to Ocean City, delivering a fall weekend of music, tourism, and celebration by the shore.
