Sand In My Boots Fest is officially returning to the beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama, May 21-23, 2027, with Morgan Wallen, Ella Langley, and Kings of Leon set to headline the three-day beachside music festival.

Morgan Wallen and AEG Presents announced the festival’s return in mid-October, following a sold-out inaugural edition in 2025. On Monday (Nov. 2), the country superstar and promoter officially unveiled the full lineup for Sand In My Boots Fest. Personally curated by Wallen himself, Sand In My Boots Fest brings together artists from a variety of genres, including country, rock, hip-hop, and electronic music.

More than a traditional music festival, Sand In My Boots Fest gives fans a chance to step inside Wallen’s musical world. His personal touch can be found throughout the entire festival, extending beyond the lineup to the various experiences and details across the grounds. From stage names inspired by his extensive catalog of songs to bars, themed areas, and other on-site experiences, the festival features personal nods to Wallen’s music and career at every turn.

The festival also reflects Wallen’s own musical influences, blending traditional country with sounds from other genres. The lineup brings together some of his favorite artists, close collaborators, and musicians who have influenced his career.

Morgan Wallen is set to return as a headliner of the 2027 Sand In My Boots Fest. Ella Langley will also return to the festival, this time stepping into a headlining spot after previously performing earlier in the day on the Main Stage during the 2025 event. Her return comes following the success of her Billboard record-breaking hit “Choosin’ Texas,” which has spent 26 weeks and counting at No. 1. Kings of Leon round out the headlining lineup, bringing a catalog of hits spanning 10 studio albums, including their forthcoming full-length O My Beloved.

The star-studded 2027 lineup also features Avery Anna, Blake Whiten, Carter Faith, Cole Swindell, Corey Kent, Corey Smith, Empire of the Sun, Flo Rida, Gavin Adcock, Girl Talk, Gucci Mane, Hudson Westbrook, Jacob Hackworth, Jason Scott & The High Heat, Juicy J, Kameron Marlowe, Kashus Culpepper, Kenny Whitmire, Koe Wetzel, Kygo, Midland, Nelly, Phil Kane, Project Pat, Rick Ross, Third Eye Blind, Vincent Mason, Waylon Wyatt, Ying Yang Twins, and Zach John King.

Wallen is looking forward to bringing the festival back with new experiences for both fans and performers.

“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 shared in a statement via a press release. “I think it’s going to be really top-notch and we’re going to try to do it even better this time.”

Sand In My Boots combines the atmosphere of a major music festival with the laid-back vibes of a Gulf Coast beach vacation. Fans can choose from five pass options: GA, Party Pit, VIP, Super VIP, and Livin’ The Dream, each offering different amenities and levels of access. Depending on the pass, attendees can enjoy premium viewing areas, lounges, main-stage in-ground swimming pools, complimentary bars, gourmet dining, private restrooms, dedicated entrances, exclusive merchandise, and additional perks.

Beyond the music, Wallen will also continue his commitment to giving back through the Morgan Wallen Foundation (MWF), which supports youth programs in sports and music. During the 2025 festival, the foundation donated more than $200,000 in musical instruments to five Alabama schools. Since launching its Tour Give Back initiative, MWF has contributed more than $2 million worth of instruments to schools in need across U.S. touring cities.
