Barefoot Country Music Fest is returning to the beaches of Wildwood, New Jersey, once again with another packed lineup of artists ready to turn the sand into a star-studded honky tonk.
The four-day festival taking place June 18-21, 2026, will be held right off the boardwalk, nestled between Morey’s Piers along the beach. Excitingly, the full daily lineups were officially announced this morning, and there’s truly something for everyone. The BCMF main stage will be headlined by none other than Miranda Lambert, Post Malone, Kelsea Ballerini, and Eric Church.
Additionally, throughout the weekend, performances will be held across the festival’s 5 stages from Cole Swindell, Tucker Wetmore, Chase Matthew, Tracy Lawrence, The Fray, Ty Myers, and Chase Rice. With over 40 artists ranging from newcomers to country music staples as well as a few genre mix-ins, other acts include Braxton Keith, Emily Ann Roberts, Graham Barham, Colt Ford, Ashley Cooke, Chris Lane, Jake Worthington, Laci Kaye Booth, and more.
As one of the East Coast’s largest outdoor country music festivals, few things scream perfect summer vacation more than a beach weekend soundtracked by some of country music’s hottest names. Before the gates open each day, there are extensive opportunities to explore Wildwood’s five-mile beaches, take a refreshing dip in the ocean, or stroll along the iconic 2.5-mile boardwalk. For those who haven’t experienced it yet, the boardwalk is the epitome of a classic American summer with three amusement piers, more than 100 rides and attractions, three beachfront waterparks, countless shops, and no shortage of restaurants.
Inside the festival, there’s also plenty to explore, after grabbing themselves a drink, of course. The grounds are lined with shops, bars, brand activations, and plenty of delicious food options. If you need a break from the blazing June sun, you can cool off at one of the indoor stages, learn some line dancing, or catch the dueling pianos performing throughout the day. To get the full Barefoot experience, don’t forget to pack accordingly for each day’s theme, including ‘Diamonds & Denim,’ ‘Rodeo Rave,’ ‘Night in the Wild,’ and ‘Stars & Stripes.’
For those hoping to attend this ultimate party down the shore, now is the chance to snag your tickets before they sell out and before the price increases. Additionally, for those who purchase before Friday, March 20, the Thursday Kick-Off Concert headlined by Miranda Lambert will be included at no extra cost.
