Post Malone, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, and Riley Green Lead Four-Day Oceanfront Celebration in Myrtle Beach

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (FEBRUARY 27, 2026) — Carolina Country Music Fest (CCMF) has unveiled the full artist lineup for its 2026 event, set for June 4–7, 2026, in the heart of Myrtle Beach. The East Coast’s largest outdoor country music fest will once again transform the oceanfront into a four-day celebration of live music, bringing together chart-topping headliners, multi-platinum hitmakers, and the next generation of country stars.

Leading the 2026 lineup are Post Malone, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, and Riley Green, four of the most prominent names in country music today. Collectively, the headliners represent dozens of No. 1 singles, billions of global streams, and some of the genre’s most recognizable voices.

Joining them are fan favorites and rising standouts including: Cole Swindell, Tucker Wetmore, Justin Moore, Chris Janson, Lauren Alaina, Tracy Lawrence, Flatland Cavalry, Chris Lane, Rodney Atkins, Ashley Cooke, Dasha, LOCASH, Drew Baldridge, Drake White, Emily Ann Roberts, Zach John King, The Wilder Blue, Graham Barham, Channing Wilson, Julia Cole, Laci Kaye Booth, Whey Jennings, Davisson Brothers Band, Filmore, Myles Morgan, Slater Nalley, Diamond Dixie, Chandler Carpenter and The Reckless Souls, Byrdie Wilson, Darren Deese, Rut Spence and more.

With more than 40 artists performing across multiple stages, CCMF continues its tradition of blending established superstars with emerging talent — a formula that has helped launch rising acts who once played side stages before becoming household names.

Now entering its second decade, CCMF has sold out four consecutive years and earned two nominations for ACM Festival of the Year, further underscoring its impact within the industry. Recognized by outlets including USA Today, Billboard, and Rolling Stone as one of the nation’s premier country music experiences, the event draws tens of thousands of fans annually to the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk for four days of live performances, immersive experiences, and a coastal atmosphere unlike any other.

“We’ve got two of the hottest artists in country right now — Post Malone and Riley Green — alongside two of the genre’s biggest mainstays, Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton,” said Bob Durkin, co-founder of Southern Entertainment. “From global superstars to artists on the rise, we’re bringing together an incredible mix of talent for four unforgettable days on the beach.”

With the 2026 lineup now unveiled and Main Stage VIP sold out, limited General Admission and Super VIP tickets remain.

General Admission provides access to four days of nonstop live performances across five stages and the full CCMF experience. In addition to world-class music, GA includes entry to the festival’s signature air-conditioned dive bars featuring live music throughout the day, curated shopping villages, interactive fan activities and Music City-inspired favorites such as karaoke, dueling pianos and line dancing lessons — delivering an authentic Nashville-style celebration to the Carolina coastline.

For fans seeking a more elevated experience, Super VIP offers CCMF’s most exclusive access, including a private festival entrance, front-row viewing at the main stage, an elevated viewing platform with a full-service bar, an air-conditioned catering tent with seating, curated food offerings with complimentary hors d’oeuvres and evening buffets Friday through Sunday, posh private restrooms and an open bar within the Super VIP section.

Fans can secure four days of country music for as low as $79 per day* with a three-day General Admission ticket. Friday, February 27 at midnight marks the final opportunity to have Thursday Night included with the purchase of a three-day ticket.
