Oceans Calling festival

Organisers have cancelled the entire Oceans Calling Festival in Ocean City, Maryland, as a Nor'easter storm approaches the coast. The decision scrapped all performances and activities planned for the event. Fans and ticket holders are discussing refunds, travel plans and disappointment, while officials warned of hazardous weather conditions along the mid-Atlantic coastline over the coming days.

A coastal storm has forced the cancellation of the Oceans Calling music festival in Ocean City, Maryland, while also causing significant erosion to the town's beach. The event was called off as dangerous conditions moved into the resort area, and the storm chewed away large sections of sand along the shoreline, leaving organizers and local officials dealing with both a lost weekend and damage to the beach.
