Each and every year, O.A.R. curates the always star-studded Oceans Calling Festival in their home state of Maryland.
However, that’s not all they do.
The legendary jam band often conducts headlining summer tours and 2024 will be no different.
From July through September plus four November gigs in Florida, Marc Roberge and co. will hit venues all over North America with special guests Fitz and the Tantrums, Ripe and DJ Logic.
That includes stops at Asbury Park, NJ’s Stone Pony on July 19 as well as back-to-back gigs at New York City’s Rooftop at Pier 17 on July 25-26.
Later in the summer, Of A Revolution will swoop into Lewiston, NY’s Artpark Outdoor Amphitheater on Aug. 27.
“It’s time for us to get out there and play a full set, jam out, and have another best summer of our lives,” Roberge shared. “We can’t wait to hang this summer with our friends Fitz and the Tantrums, Ripe and DJ Logic!”
And if you can’t wait to hang with O.A.R., you can grab tickets for all upcoming 2024 concerts as soon as today.

O.A.R. new music
In 2022, O.A.R. dropped their tenth studio album “The Arcade.”
Made up of ten tracks and clocking in a hair below 33 minutes, the record is a great showcase for the band’s shaggy but sharp musicianship.
Our team was particularly taken with the snazzy, jazzy, reggae-y opener “You Don’t Have To Say Goodbye” and almost ska-like “Inside Out.”
However, there isn’t a dud in the bunch.
The single “In The Clouds” is a catchy singalong, “Chicago” will have you dancing in no time and “Over My Head” changes the tempo up, showing off the group’s ability to produce soaring rock anthems.
Still, they saved the best for last.
“Life In The Big City,” which wouldn’t feel out of place on a Matchbox Twenty/Goo Goo Dolls/Third Eye Blind album, is destined for encore greatness at concerts all over the globe.
