Looking for live country music in Gulf Shores, AL? You’re gonna have to go elsewhere…

Country artist Morgan Wallen’s “Sand in my Boots” Festival will NOT be coming back in 2026, per organizers. The reasoning was due to logistics. By the time AEG, the organizers, and the city of Gulf Shores agreed to an extension, it was too late for many aspects of next year to be set. Gulf Shores will be without a substantial amount of live music from this genre until at least 2027, which is when they presume they can return.

Doesn't seem like there's a lack of live music in the city.

This one is exclusively country. The others listed are not just country but other genres.

Again - there doesn't seem to be a lack of live country music throughout the year. Just not one specific festival.

At the end of the day, while there may be sporadic ones, they aren’t as monumental as the one before.

But that's not what your click bait titles says.

So what you meant to say was there will not be this specific music festival for 3 days in 2026 with a diverse lineup similar to who they had in 2025 including artists like T-Pain, Diplo, Wiz Khalifa, and many more. So there goes your "exclusively country" argument as well. So basically nothing in your outrageous title or follow up responses are true per usual. I think Gulf Shores will be just fine for country and other live music throughout 2026.
