Alan Jackson is bringing a brand new festival to West Palm Beach, Florida, and it already sounds like the perfect tropical summer getaway.
The Inaugural 5 O’Clock Somewhere Fest launching this upcoming June 12 and 13 was first teased about a week ago with a cheeky post from the official Instagram account announcing, “Something big is sailing your way.” Sure enough, today the full weekend lineup dropped with headliners, including none other than the chart-dominating Ella Langley, alongside Old Dominion, and Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band.
Also bringing their vocals to the Palm Beaches are Dylan Scott, Clint Black, Shenandoah, John Anderson, Rodney Atkins, and more. Unfortunately, the festival’s namesake is not on the lineup as a performer, but given that the Jupiter area is the stomping grounds for the “5 O’Clock Somewhere” music video, the event is bound to still honor Jackson in some capacity. The weekend will also pay tribute to his late, iconic collaborator Jimmy Buffett, who also appears to be a big inspiration, with performances set from both his original touring band and the tribute group, Jammy Buffet.
Understandably, the 68-year-old ’90s legend announced in 2025 that this year would mark his retirement from touring after a long 40-year career. A few weeks after this festival, the “Chattahoochee” singer will take the stage one final time on June 27 at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium. The “Last Call” show will mark an epic finale for Jackson alongside a massive list of his country music friends, such as Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, and more.
Nonetheless, this beach party is bound to be a great time, fueled by margaritas, summer hits, and an exciting opportunity to see one of country music’s leading ladies, Langley, who will be actively touring her upcoming Dandelion album. Following the highly anticipated project’s release on April 10, this is an amazing opportunity to see the rising stars who’s been making waves with her Billboard Top 100 hit “Choosin’ Texas” as she heads out on the album’s coinciding tour, kickstarting May 7 in Toledo, Ohio.
General Admission tickets as well as the festival’s three VIP ticket packages (Castaways, Gone Country Club, and 5 O’Clock Yacht Club) will all go on sale Friday, March 27. Those hoping to sail away this upcoming June can also now sign up for the insider list for more upcoming updates.
