Morgan Wallen will return Sand in My Boots Festival to the Alabama coast in 2027. The three-day event will take place from May 21 to 23 on the beaches of Gulf Shores. Wallen is curating the lineup personally in a partnership with AEG Presents. This marks the festival's second edition after a sold-out debut in 2025 and a hiatus in 2026.
Kings of Leon and Ella Langley will share headlining duties with Wallen. The bill spans country, rock, hip-hop, and electronic genres. Country performers include Koe Wetzel, Cole Swindell, Gavin Adcock, Midland, Avery Anna, Kameron Marlowe, Hudson Westbrook, Kashus Culpepper, Carter Faith, Corey Kent, and Vincent Mason. Third Eye Blind represents the rock category. Nelly, Flo Rida, Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, Juicy J, Project Pat, and Ying Yang Twins appear on the hip-hop list. Kygo, Empire of the Sun, and Girl Talk will perform electronic sets.
Langley headlined the inaugural 2025 edition. Her return coincides with the chart success of her single "Choosin' Texas." Kings of Leon will also perform while preparing to release their 10th studio album, O My Beloved.
Wallen stated that he aims to introduce new stage concepts for the 2027 event. He said, "One thing I am 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." He added, "I think it's going to be really top-notch and we're going to try to do it even better this time."
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Central time on Friday, Nov. 6. Specific performance schedules have not yet been announced. The event will continue the charitable work of the Morgan Wallen Foundation.
The foundation donated more than $200,000 in musical instruments to five Alabama schools after the 2025 festival. It has provided more than $2 million in instruments to schools in communities visited during Wallen's U.S. tours. More information is available at sandinmybootsfest.com.
