Sand In My Boots Festival Curated by Morgan Wallen: A New Era for Hangout Fest

Morgan Wallen’s Sand In My Boots Festival is set to replace Hangout Fest this year on the stunning beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama, from May 16-18.

Hangout Fest has been a beloved destination for music lovers seeking pop, rock, country, hip-hop, and electronic artists in a unique coastal setting. Gulf Shores, Alabama has played host to numerous memorable editions of the festival, featuring stellar lineups from various genres. As the festival approaches its 15th anniversary, significant changes are on the horizon. Today, AEG Presents and Hangout Fest announced an exciting new collaboration with Morgan Wallen to introduce the Sand In My Boots Festival.

The inaugural Sand In My Boots Festival will take place on May 16-18 and will showcase a thoughtfully curated lineup featuring Morgan Wallen’s friends, favorite artists, and those who have influenced him, along with others he has always aspired to share the stage with. “Creating a Festival with Morgan has been a dream come true… and some of the most fun I have ever had booking a show!” expressed Stacy Vee, EVP of Goldenvoice and Producer of Stagecoach. “I can’t wait for fans to experience one of the most eclectic and electric lineups and on-site experiences the world has ever seen.”

While Morgan Wallen will undoubtedly be the centerpiece of the festival, and country music will play a prominent role, the event is anticipated to maintain a multi-genre atmosphere reminiscent of what Hangout Fest has offered in the past. AEG Presents’ Stagecoach, a country festival occurring in April after both weekends of Coachella, has seen a notable increase in the diversity of artists over recent years, including those from electronic music. This trend is expected to continue with Sand In My Boots when the lineup is announced shortly.

“The chance to bring Morgan’s world to life on the beach in Gulf Shores is something truly special,” remarked AEG Presents and Hangout Festival Producer Reeves Price. “The coincidence of this festival coinciding with the 15th anniversary of Hangout Festival makes it even more significant. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to the beach in May.”

Similar to Hangout Fest, Sand In My Boots is poised to attract attendees from across the South and beyond, offering a range of accommodation options for festival-goers.
