Barefoot Country Music Fest, the largest outdoor country music celebration in the Northeast, has announced that Post Malone will headline the 2026 event in Wildwood.
Known for rewriting history, breaking records and blurring the boundaries of genre, the Grammy Award-nominated artist will bring his chart-topping catalog and high energy live performance to the Wildwood beaches when the Barefoot Country Music Fest returns June 18-21, 2026.
Malone is fresh off the release of his debut country album, "F-1 Trillion," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has already produced major hits, including “Guy For That” featuring Luke Combs, “Pour Me A Drink” featuring Blake Shelton, and the mega-smash, “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen. Combined with collaborations with Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, the album earned Post eight 2025 Grammy nominations.
“Post Malone is one of the biggest superstars in the world, and we’re proud to bring him to BCMF for 2026,” said Bob Durkin, co-founder of Southern Entertainment, producers of the music festival. “His new country album has taken the industry by storm. This is just the beginning of an incredible lineup we’re building for next summer.”
Barefoot Country Music Fest has earned national media attention with multiple sellouts in its first five years in Wildwood. It has drawn tens of thousands of fans from across the U.S. and beyond to the Jersey Shore each summer.
Malone is the first of four superstar headliners to be announced, with more artists to be revealed in the coming weeks.
