After a year that included a record-breaking show in the U.K., his second straight Billboard Song of the Summer and a slew of sold-out stadium shows, Morgan Wallen announced last Thursday that he would be producing his own music festival, the Sand In My Boots Fest.

And I’m bringing some of my friends with me.” Just minutes ago, he finally dropped the entire lineup for the three-day event.
