While the full lineup for the Sand in My Boots Festival has yet to be revealed, fans can expect a multi-genre mix of talent. Wallen, known for his chart-topping hits and collaborations, is curating a list of performers that includes some of his closest friends, favorite artists, and musicians he’s always dreamed of sharing the stage with.
The festival’s name pays homage to Wallen’s hit single, “Sand in My Boots,” which topped the Billboard Country Airplay charts in 2022.

A Dream Project for Industry Veterans
Stacy Vee, executive vice president of Goldenvoice and producer of Stagecoach, expressed her enthusiasm for the project in a statement, noting that working with Wallen on the festival has been a career highlight.
“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.”
The festival is expected to offer more than just music, with unique on-site experiences that will make it a one-of-a-kind event for attendees. Reeves Price, producer of the Hangout Festival and AEG Presents, highlighted the special nature of the festival’s timing, as it coincides with the 15th anniversary of the Hangout Festival.
“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.”
Fans can look forward to not only enjoying top-notch performances but also being a part of a significant milestone in Gulf Shores’ festival history.
Building on Success
Morgan Wallen is no stranger to the festival circuit, having made headlines earlier in the year when he and fellow country star Eric Church launched the Field & Stream Music Festival. Scheduled to take place in October 2024 in Winnsboro, South Carolina, the festival was to feature acts like Lainey Wilson, ZZ Top, and Church himself. Unfortunately, the inaugural event had to be postponed due to the damage caused by Hurricane Helene. Nevertheless, the Field & Stream Music Festival remains a testament to Wallen’s growing influence in both the music and festival industries.
The Field & Stream Festival is a part of Wallen and Church’s larger acquisition of the Field & Stream brand, an outdoor lifestyle company they plan to elevate with their unique blend of music, community, and love for the outdoors. This venture reflects Wallen’s passion for connecting with fans not just through his music, but through shared experiences in outdoor settings, blending music, nature, and a sense of adventure.
