Morgan Wallen Presents Sand In My Boots Festival is just around the corner, and as excitement continues to grow, Music Mayhem has compiled everything you need to know before you go.

Taking place May 16–18 on the picturesque white sand beaches of Gulf Shores, this three-day, two-stage event promises nonstop music and unforgettable moments. What sets this festival apart is its one-of-a-kind, hand-curated lineup—personally selected by Wallen himself.

Featuring a multi-genre mix of his closest friends, favorite acts, musical heroes, and artists he’s always dreamed of sharing a stage with, every performance, activity, and experience has been thoughtfully chosen by Wallen. It’s all driven by his passion for creating lasting memories alongside fans, family, and peers in a truly immersive and unique setting.

“We started talking about curating a festival that includes my friends, and artists who have influenced me, years ago. It took a lot of folks a lot of hours to plan Sand In My Boots, and it only took two hours for y’all to sell it out,” Wallen said with a smile. “We can’t wait to deliver a special weekend for everyone in May.”

Stacy Vee, EVP of Goldenvoice and Producer of Stagecoach added, “Creating a Festival with Morgan has been a dream come true… and some of the most fun I have ever had booking a show! I can’t wait for fans to come and experience one of the most eclectic and electric lineups and on-site experiences the world has ever seen.”

AEG Presents and Hangout Festival Producer Reeves Price continued, “The opportunity to bring Morgan’s world to life on the beach in Gulf Shores is something very special. The fact that it coincides with the 15th anniversary of the Hangout Festival only makes it more special. We can’t wait to see everyone back on the beach in May.”
