Sand In My Boots Reveals 2027 Lineup With Morgan Wallen, Kings of Leon, Empire of The Sun, Ella Langley & More

Sand In My Boots has revealed its 2027 lineup, bringing a mix of country, rock, hip-hop, and electronic music to Gulf Shores, Alabama, May 21–23.

Morgan Wallen, Kings of Leon, and Ella Langley lead the festival’s return following a sold-out debut in 2025. Presented by Wallen and AEG Presents, the three-day event pairs a lineup personally selected by Wallen with a weekend on the Alabama coast.

Passes go on sale Friday, November 6, at 10 a.m. CT, with an early purchasing window for eligible residents beginning the day before.

A Lineup That Goes Beyond Country

Country remains a big part of Sand In My Boots, with Koe Wetzel, Cole Swindell, Gavin Adcock, Midland, Hudson Westbrook, Avery Anna, Kameron Marlowe, Corey Kent, and Vincent Mason among the artists joining this year’s headliners.

Ella Langley returns after appearing at the inaugural festival in 2025, this time taking a headlining spot alongside Wallen and Kings of Leon.

But there’s plenty here for fans whose playlists bounce between genres.

Nelly, Flo Rida, Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, Juicy J, Project Pat, and Ying Yang Twins bring a strong hip-hop presence, while Kygo, Empire of the Sun, and Girl Talk add electronic and dance sounds to the weekend. Third Eye Blind joins Kings of Leon on the rock side of the bill. 

Make a Beach Weekend of It

The setting is a big part of the appeal. Sand In My Boots takes place directly on the beaches of Gulf Shores, making it an easy excuse to turn a festival trip into a few days on the coast.

Pass options include GA, Party Pit, VIP, Super VIP, and Livin’ The Dream. Depending on the tier, amenities range from premium viewing areas and lounges to main-stage swimming pools, complimentary food and drinks, and dedicated entrances.

Hotel packages are also available, including options that bundle festival passes with lodging and shuttle transportation. For anyone looking to stay close to the action, The Hideaway by Phoenix All Suites and Embassy Suites offer accommodations with festival views and direct access.

Wallen’s Morgan Wallen Foundation will also continue its involvement in the event, supporting youth sports and music programs. During the festival’s inaugural year, the foundation donated more than $200,000 in instruments to five Alabama schools.
