Morgan Wallen’s Sand in My Boots Festival returns to Gulf Shores, Ala., in May 2027 after a year off.
The festival’s first edition brought together some big names across country, rock and rap, and the next chapter is already taking shape.
Organizers announced the return Monday (Oct. 19), with the 2027 lineup expected to drop in November.
For now, the biggest question is whether Wallen will return onstage at the festival under the name of one of his own songs.

The lineup is still under wraps, and organizers offered only a brief tease in their social media announcement: “Stay tuned, y’all.”
Wallen’s return is a natural question. The festival was originally presented as a takeover curated by the country star, and its name comes from his song. But organizers have not confirmed whether he’ll perform in 2027.

The inaugural 2025 lineup featured Wallen, Post Malone, Brooks & Dunn, HARDY, Riley Green and more, mixing country stars with artists from rock, rap and beyond.
Sand in My Boots took over the Gulf Shores grounds previously home to Hangout Music Fest, which last took place there in 2024.
The new festival drew praise from attendees and local residents, with some seeing it as a welcome change from the previous event.
The November lineup announcement should offer a clearer picture of what the 2027 edition has in store.
Morgan Wallen’s Top 10 Songs That Make Him An Important Modern Country Artist
Honestly, Morgan Wallen could be considered one of the most important modern country artists based on the face that he’s released so much music on just a few albums. His projects have consistently been double albums since Dangerous arrived in 2021.
However, Wallen’s music is not just quantity, it’s quality and it has caught on with a wide audience – very wide. Despite his ups and downs in his career, he always brings raw honesty and self-deprecating content to his lyrics, making him a favorite among country music fans.
