Morgan Wallen will launch the Sand in My Boots Festival in Alabama in 2025

Morgan Wallen will bring his own music festival to the beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama next year when the 15-time Billboard Music Awards winner launches his three-day Sand in My Boots Festival, May 16-18, 2025. Wallen has partnered with AEG Presents (producers of Stagecoach, California's Country Music Festival and Hangout Music Festival) and Hangout Festival to hold his event at the same location as the annual Hangout Festival.

The full talent list and ticket details for Wallen's Sand in My Boots Festival will be announced in the coming weeks, but the lineup will be genre-spanning and include some of the country star's closest friends, favorite artists and musicians he's always wanted to perform with. The festival shares its name with Wallen's 2022 No. 1 Billboard country airplay hit.

Reeves Price, producer of AEG Presents and Hangout Festival, added: “The opportunity to bring Morgan’s world to life on the beach at Gulf Shores is very special.

The upcoming Sand in My Boots festival isn't the only festival Wallen has been involved in running recently. Earlier this year, he and Eric Church co-created and curated the Field & Stream Music Festival, scheduled to take place October 4-6 in Winnsboro, SC and featuring Church, Lainey Wilson and ZZ Top. However, the opening festival had to be postponed due to the extensive damage caused by Hurricane Helene. The Field & Stream Music Festival is part of Wallen and Church's acquisition of outdoor lifestyle brand Field & Stream, announced earlier this year.
