For many of us attending the Oceans Calling Music Festival 2025 in Ocean City, MD, the announcement of Jack's Mannequin and Good Charlotte playing at the same time was both disappointing and upsetting. We are hundreds, if not thousands, of devoted fans who have been eagerly waiting for this festival, and believe that such a scheduling overlap unjustly forces us to make an impossible choice between these two beloved bands.

In a city known for its celebration of music and arts, where fans gather from every corner to enjoy and support various artists, it is essential that the festival lineup respect the diverse interests of its audience. Scheduling conflicts like this not only divide fans but also diminish the overall experience of the festival by not allowing attendees to fully support all the artists they love. Both Jack's Mannequin and Good Charlotte hold significant places in the hearts of their fans, and seeing them perform is a dream for many of us.

Adjusting the schedule to avoid overlap would significantly enhance the festival experience for everyone, ensuring that fans can enjoy full performances without the conflict of split loyalties. Historical data from similar festivals indicates that allowing fans to see all desired performances increases attendee satisfaction and promotes greater enjoyment of the event. Many festivals successfully implement careful scheduling to maximize audience enjoyment, and we believe the Oceans Calling Music Festival can achieve the same.

We urge the festival organizers to consider who's attending your festival: fans with diverse tastes and loyalties. By rescheduling these performances so they don't coincide, you will honor the commitment and passion we bring to Ocean City, MD. Let’s make the 2025 Festival a memorable and inclusive event for all. Please sign this petition if you, too, want to ensure that Jack's Mannequin and Good Charlotte perform at separate times, allowing everyone the opportunity to enjoy both performances to the fullest extent.

Thank you for understanding the importance of this issue to us! Sign the petition to help us create a festival schedule that accommodates all fans and enhances our musical experience.
