Korn, Bad Omens and Iron Maiden will headline Boardwalk Rock, which comes back to Ocean City, Maryland on 14 to 16 May 2027 after skipping a year.
A festival that takes a year off usually does not come back, so the return matters more than any single name on it. What has been booked for the first night says what the weekend is: Korn at the top, with Breaking Benjamin, The Prodigy, Cypress Hill, Slash and Clutch under them.
That is a bill with very little in common beyond an audience that grew up in the same decade, which is how American festivals of this size are built now. Iron Maiden headlining one of the three nights is the part that pulls from outside it.
The rest of the line-up has not been published, and the band order for the other two days has not been announced either.
