About Sand in My Boots 2027
Sand in My Boots 2027 runs Friday May 21 to Sunday May 23 on the public beach at Gulf Shores, Alabama, the same stretch of sand that hosts Hangout. Morgan Wallen headlines the festival he curates, with Kings of Leon and Ella Langley billed beside him, and the lineup announced on November 2 reads like his own playlist: Koe Wetzel, Cole Swindell, Gavin Adcock and Midland from country, Nelly, Flo Rida, Gucci Mane and Rick Ross from rap, Kygo and Empire of the Sun for the dance crowd, Third Eye Blind and Girl Talk for everyone who went to college in the 2000s. Thirty-three acts in all, with no day splits yet.
The first edition, in May 2025, took over Hangout's weekend and sold out in about two hours, with Post Malone, Brooks & Dunn and Hardy under Wallen and Ella Langley a few lines down. There was no 2026 festival: Gulf Shores confirmed in December 2025 that neither Hangout nor Sand in My Boots would run that year, and approved permits for a 2027 return instead. Langley returning as a headliner two years after playing the undercard is the story of this bill.
Passes go on sale Friday November 6 at 10am CT, and only to people who register on the festival site first, which sends a unique code and purchase link. The prices are posted up front with taxes and beach fees included: general admission is about $677, Party Pit about $1,355, VIP about $2,485, with Super VIP, Livin' the Dream and cabanas above that.

Nashville's Followill family band, from the raw Southern garage rock of Youth & Young Manhood to the arena-sized 'Sex on Fire' and 'Use Somebody'. Ten albums in and still a brothers' operation.
Rock
Tennessee singer folding hip-hop cadences and arena swagger into country pop, behind 'Whiskey Glasses' and the long-running chart-topper 'Last Night'.
Country
Georgia hitmaker with a decade of country radio number ones, from 'Chillin' It' to 'She Had Me at Heads Carolina', written for a crowd to sing back.
Country
Theatrical Aussie synth-pop royalty with headdresses, spectacle, and 'Walking on a Dream' euphoria, a duo that treats every festival set as full-scale cinematic ritual.
Synth-popElectro-pop
The hook factory of late-2000s radio: 'Low' alone soundtracked a billion parties.
Hip-hopPop
Rowdy Georgia country with tailgate anthems delivered with a linebacker's energy and zero polish on purpose.
Country
Texas country riser with a barroom baritone, whose 'Take It Slow' took him from regional to national inside a year.
Country
Texas country crossed with grunge: ragged, loud, and closer to a rock show than a country one.
Red dirtCountry rock
Norwegian producer who built tropical house around piano hooks, playing the keys himself live. The Ed Sheeran remix that started it, then 'Firestone'.
Dance
Texas trio in rhinestone-suit finery reviving '70s and '80s honky-tonk harmony; 'Drinkin' Problem' set the template and they have stayed true to it.
Country
St. Louis rap at its most radio-ready: 'Hot in Herre' and 'Dilemma' anchor a hits set that has long outlasted its era.
Hip-hopPop-rap
Semi-charmed alt-rock perfection: a greatest-hits set with no skips, doot-doot-doots at maximum participation, Jenkins still selling every word.
Alt-rockPower-pop
Arizona-raised songwriter who broke through online, singing heartbreak country with a crack left in it.
Country
South Carolina songwriter with a rough, low voice and heavy-hearted lyrics; 'Rollin' Stone' carried him from bedroom videos to a major-label debut.
Country
Dreamy neo-traditional country from a fast-rising Nashville transplant, with twang and a soft-focus, retro glow.
Country
Oklahoma singer who spent his teens on the rodeo circuit before 'Wild as Her' broke through, bringing Texas-leaning country with a rasp in the delivery.
Country
Georgia singer-songwriter who built a touring career on his own label, with the college-town anthems 'Twenty-One' and 'If I Could Do It Again' sung back word for word across the Southeast.
CountrySinger-songwriter
Gregg Gillis's one-man mashup machine: hundreds of pop, rap and rock samples a set, cut together at a sprint, a laptop show that reliably ends with the stage full of fans.
ElectronicMashup
Atlanta trap's founding father: a mixtape output in the hundreds, the 1017 label that launched Migos and Young Thug, and 'Lemonade' and 'Wake Up in the Sky' for the crowd.
Hip-hopTrap
Jacob Hackworth
West Plains, Missouri singer and former railroad worker who wrote hits for Bailey Zimmerman and Corey Kent before stepping out on his own records.
Country
Jason Scott & The High Heat
Oklahoma band pushing Red Dirt songwriting toward heartland rock, with a frontman's plainspoken storytelling carried by a loud, road-tested band.
Country
Three 6 Mafia co-founder and Oscar winner, Memphis horrorcore's survivor turned 2010s hitmaker with 'Bandz a Make Her Dance'. Still shouting 'Stay Trippy' and still right.
Hip-hop
North Carolina singer with a deep, weathered baritone. First seen on The Voice before 'Giving You Up' and the We Were Cowboys album established him in Nashville.
Country
Alabama Navy veteran with a gritty soul voice, folding blues and Southern rock into country songs like 'After Me?'.
CountrySoul
Kenny Whitmire
Country
Phil Kane
Country
Juicy J's older brother and Memphis rap royalty in his own right, with the drawled, hypnotic flow of 'Chickenhead' and 'Don't Save Her' that a generation of Southern rappers studied.
Hip-hop
Miami's self-styled Boss, who rapped 'Hustlin'' into a Maybach Music empire. Lush, cinematic beats and a baritone that makes every verse sound like a yacht deal.
Hip-hop
Vincent Mason
Roswell, Georgia songwriter whose moody 'Hell Is a Dance Floor' went viral in 2024; his 14-track debut album 'There I Go' followed in November 2025.
Country
Teenage Arkansas country prodigy with porch-honest writing in the Zach Bryan lineage, wise beyond the birth certificate.
Country
Atlanta crunk duo behind 'Salt Shaker', 'Wait (The Whisper Song)' and the hook on Lil Jon's 'Get Low'. Twenty years on, still the sound of every club's loudest hour.
Hip-hopCrunk
Zach John King
Fayetteville, Georgia singer who fronted an indie rock band in college before 'Wannabe Country' got him signed to Sony Music Nashville in 2024.

The headliners
Morgan Wallen · Tennessee singer folding hip-hop cadences and arena swagger into country pop, behind 'Whiskey Glasses' and the long-running chart-topper 'Last Night'.
Kings of Leon · Nashville's Followill family band, from the raw Southern garage rock of Youth & Young Manhood to the arena-sized 'Sex on Fire' and 'Use Somebody'. Ten albums in and still a brothers' operation. The one rock headliner, with ten albums of catalog and a beach crowd that will know every word of 'Use Somebody'.
Ella Langley · Alabama sass with outlaw leanings: 'you look like you love me' turned a duet into a career. Played the 2025 undercard; comes back as a headliner on the strength of 'you look like you love me' and a run of number ones since.
Up-and-comers to catch early
Hudson Westbrook · Texas country's fastest riser of the last two years, with 'House Again' and 'Take It Slow' already singalongs on the Lone Star circuit.
Kashus Culpepper · Alabama's own, a Navy veteran whose rasp sits somewhere between blues and country. 'After Me?' is the one to know going in.
Waylon Wyatt · Arkansas teenager writing plainspoken country that sounds a generation older than he is, and the reason the small type on this admat is worth reading.
Other acts worth planning around
Girl Talk · The wild card: a laptop mashup set that stitches the rest of this bill's hits together at a sprint, and usually ends with the crowd on stage.
