Morgan Wallen Shares Insight Into How He Curated His Sand In My Boots Festival

Morgan Wallen’s inaugural Sand In My Boots Festival will officially kick off this weekend in Gulf Shores, Alabama, running from May 16-18. The fest coincides with the release of Wallen’s highly-anticipated new album, I’m the Problem, which dropped on Friday (May 16). Wallen will be joined by fellow headliners Post Malone and Brooks & Dunn, along with fellow country stars Ella Langley, Hardy, Ernest, Riley Green, and Bailey Zimmerman, rappers Wiz Khalifa, 2 Chainz, and BigXThaPlug, and indie rock bands The War on Drugs and Real Estate. “When the idea of Sand in My Boots started becoming a reality, it was extremely important to me to build a festival of artists that I enjoy and listen to regularly,” Wallen says. “Having a blend of different genres was exciting and I hope fans feel the same way.” The event quickly sold out all 40,000 tickets within two hours, with $3 from every ticket going to the Morgan Wallen Foundation, which supports sports and music programs for youths.
