Morgan Wallen’s Sand In My Boots festival is back for 2027, and its lineup suggests that the country superstar has a pretty expansive definition of a beach playlist. Alongside headliners Wallen, Kings of Leon and Ella Langley, the May 21-23 gathering in Gulf Shores, Al,, will feature Kygo, Empire of the Sun, Nelly, Flo Rida, Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, Juicy J, the Ying Yang Twins, Girl Talk and Third Eye Blind, among others.
Somewhere in there, presumably, is a set break long enough to process how we got from “Whiskey Glasses” to “Semi-Charmed Life” to “Hot in Herre.” For now, tickets can be obtained here.
The three-day festival, curated by Wallen and AEG Presents, returns after a sold-out 2025 debut and a 2026 hiatus. Its second edition is an especially freewheeling exercise in cross-genre programming, bringing together country regulars including Koe Wetzel, Cole Swindell, Midland, Gavin Adcock, Avery Anna, Kameron Marlowe, Hudson Westbrook, Kashus Culpepper, Carter Faith, Corey Kent and Vincent Mason with the aforementioned hip-hop and EDM stars.
Langley returns after playing the inaugural festival, this time with the considerable momentum of “Choosin’ Texas,” her Billboard record-breaking hit that has spent 25 weeks and counting at No. 1. Wallen, naturally, remains the festival’s central attraction, as Sand in My Boots is his only announced 2027 performance at the moment.
“One thing I’m looking forward to the most about bringing Sand In My Boots festival back is being able to have new concepts on stage and trying to elevate the experience overall for the fans, myself and other artists on the bill,” Wallen says. “I think it’s going to be really top-notch and we’re going to try to do it even better this time.”
Beyond the music, Sand In My Boots is pitching itself as a full-fledged Gulf Coast vacation, with certain pass tiers offering in-ground swimming pools near the main stage, complimentary bars, gourmet food and private restrooms. The festival will again incorporate charitable work through the Morgan Wallen Foundation, which donated more than $200,000 in instruments to five Alabama schools following the 2025 event. Since launching its Tour Give Back initiative, the foundation has contributed more than $2 million in instruments to schools in cities along Wallen’s touring itineraries.
