Ocean City Music Pier 2026: Three Shows Added and Ticket Timing - Feb 13
Shore Local News reported that tickets for three newly announced shows in the 2026 Summer Concert Series at the Ocean City Music Pier would go on sale during the week of February 10, with the public on-sale described as starting at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, February 13 via Etix.
If you’re someone who plans summer weekends early, this is the kind of practical update that helps: which acts were added, which dates were named, and what the ticket-release timing looks like.
The three shows reported
The report lists three additions and their dates:
Straight No Chaser - “Beach Bash” show on June 29
TUSK: The Classic Fleetwood Mac Tribute - July 13
Indigo Girls - August 17 (described as their third Music Pier appearance, with prior performances referenced in 2016 and 2018).

What’s different from a typical “concert announcement”
This article isn’t just a lineup blurb. The packet emphasizes the time-sensitive ticketing details:
The main on-sale time (10:00 a.m., February 13)
Presale timing windows for each act
A presale code (“BRE”) specifically referenced for Straight No Chaser
Separate presale windows noted for TUSK and Indigo Girls
A note that tickets were also on sale for a July 20 show featuring Judy Collins and Richard Thompson
Those details are the difference between “nice to know” and “helpful if you actually want to go.”
Where the Music Pier context matters
The report specifically anchors this to the Ocean City Music Pier, which is one of the most recognizable summer venues in town. Even if you’re not attending, these announcements tend to affect local weekend rhythms: parking patterns, dinner reservations, and how early people choose to arrive on show nights.
Because the packet doesn’t provide traffic plans or municipal notices, it’s best to treat this as a ticketing and planning post, not an operations update.
How to plan your purchase window
Based on what’s in the packet, here’s a clean way to approach it:
If you want Straight No Chaser, note the presale code referenced (“BRE”) and confirm the presale window in Etix timing.
If you’re targeting TUSK or Indigo Girls, watch for their separate presale windows as described in the report.
For general on-sale, treat 10:00 a.m. February 13 as the key moment.
If you’re also interested in the July 20 show (Judy Collins/Richard Thompson), the report suggests those tickets were already on sale, so availability may vary.
Why this matters to second homeowners
Ocean City’s summer planning often starts months ahead, especially for people coordinating family visits or rental weeks. Ticket releases are one of those small signals that “summer scheduling season” has begun: people start locking in weekends, then build dinners, friends, and trips around them.
