Sand In My Boots 2027 lineup: every artist, pass prices, and what Gulf Shores locals should know

Morgan Wallen is bringing Sand In My Boots back to the beaches of Gulf Shores on May 21–23, 2027, and the newly announced lineup is much bigger than a country-only weekend. Wallen, Kings of Leon, and Ella Langley headline a 33-act bill that also reaches into hip-hop, electronic music, and alternative rock.

For Gulf Coast residents, the immediate decision is whether to use the local resident presale on Thursday, November 5 at 1 p.m. Central. General passes go on sale Friday, November 6 at 10 a.m. Central. Here is what has been announced as of November 2, with the details that matter before you book.

Who is playing Sand In My Boots 2027?

The three headliners are Morgan Wallen, Kings of Leon, and Ella Langley. The announced lineup, in the festival's billing order, is:

Morgan Wallen; Kings of Leon; Ella Langley; Kygo; Empire of the Sun; Nelly; Flo Rida; Gavin Adcock; Koe Wetzel; Cole Swindell; Third Eye Blind; Midland; Hudson Westbrook; Gucci Mane; Vincent Mason; Rick Ross; Corey Kent; Avery Anna; Kameron Marlowe; Zach John King; Juicy J; Girl Talk; Ying Yang Twins; Waylon Wyatt; Project Pat; Blake Whiten; Corey Smith; Carter Faith; Jason Scott & The High Heat; Kashus Culpepper; Jacob Hackworth; Kenny Whitmire; and Phil Kane.

The range is the story. Country fans have Wallen, Langley, Wetzel, Swindell, Midland, and a deep set of newer voices. Kings of Leon and Third Eye Blind bring recognizable rock catalogs. Nelly, Flo Rida, Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, Juicy J, Ying Yang Twins, and Project Pat make the hip-hop side a substantial part of the weekend. Kygo, Empire of the Sun, and Girl Talk add a dance-oriented lane. We will cover the artists in listening guides that help you decide which sets deserve a spot on your weekend plan.

Daily artist assignments and set times have not been released. Do not book a single night of lodging around an assumed headliner day. The festival says its lineup and schedule can change.

When and where is it?

The three-day event runs Friday, May 21 through Sunday, May 23, 2027 on the Gulf Shores beach near The Hangout, 101 E. Beach Blvd. The official hotel-package FAQ currently says gates open at noon each day, while music start times vary. Check the festival's official information: https://sandinmybootsfest.com/ closer to May for the final daily schedule and entry details.

How much are passes?

The festival lists these three-day pass prices as of November 2, 2026, including taxes and beach restoration fees:

The organizer also lists a GA-plus-shuttle bundle at $742.87, and official hotel packages that bundle lodging, passes, shuttle access, and merchandise are already on sale. Package totals vary by property and group size; compare the full package cost with a separate pass, room, and transportation before choosing. The pass page says payment options include 25% down, Klarna, and PayPal at checkout. Prices and availability can change.

The local presale: check your billing ZIP

The local resident presale runs November 5 at 1 p.m. through November 6 at 10 a.m. Central, before the public on-sale. Eligible ZIP codes include 36542 (Gulf Shores), 36561 (Orange Beach), 36535 (Foley), and 36532 (Fairhope), along with other Alabama and Northwest Florida ZIP codes. The billing ZIP on your payment method must match an eligible ZIP. This is early access to full-price passes, with limited inventory; it is not a resident discount.

Review the complete eligible ZIP list and conditions on the official local presale page: https://sandinmybootsfest.com/local-resident-presale/. The festival says sales are final, with no refunds or exchanges. Registration for access to the public on-sale is available on the festival website: https://sandinmybootsfest.com/.

A Gulf Shores planning note

If you are coming from Foley, Orange Beach, Fort Morgan, or farther away, decide how you will reach the beach before committing to a room. The organizer says there is no festival-operated public parking lot, and parking around the site is extremely limited. Shuttle passes are available separately or in certain bundles, while official hotel packages include shuttle passes. Posted park-and-ride stops include Pelican Place, Beach Pavilion, and The Gulf; routes and stops are subject to change. Walking distance can be valuable, but verify your exact lodging location and festival entrance rather than relying on a broad “Gulf Shores” listing.

The event welcomes all ages. Children 5 and under may enter free with a pass-holding parent or guardian, with a limit of two children per supervising adult. Families should also check each hotel's minimum check-in age before booking.

Our take: This lineup gives Gulf Coast residents a reason to look past the three big names. If you have a specific must-see performer, wait for the day-by-day schedule before treating a hotel night as settled. If you want the whole weekend, work backward from the total cost: pass, lodging, shuttle, food, and the trip home. We will keep this guide current as the organizer releases set times and logistics.
