GULF SHORES, Ala. — Announced TODAY (Nov. 2): Morgan Wallen’s personally curated Sand In My Boots festival is coming back to the beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama, May 21–23, 2027, after a sold-out 2025 debut and a 2026 hiatus.

The headliners: Wallen himself, Kings of Leon, and Ella Langley. And here’s the best angle on the poster — Langley played the inaugural edition as a supporting act. Two years later she’s at the TOP of the bill, riding her record-breaking “Choosin’ Texas” (25+ weeks at No. 1). Glow up: achieved.

The full lineup packs 30+ acts across country, rock, hip-hop and electronic: Nelly, Flo Rida, Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, Juicy J, Ying Yang Twins, Kygo, Empire of the Sun, Girl Talk, Third Eye Blind, Koe Wetzel, Cole Swindell, Midland and Gavin Adcock.

Bonus hook for the rock crowd: Kings of Leon’s 10th studio album, “O My Beloved,” drops THIS week.

Passes go on sale Friday, Nov. 6 at 10 a.m. CT. Set your alarms — this one will not wait around.

Gen-Z translation: festival lineups are basically the new March Madness brackets. Start ranking your must-see set now.
