What promises to be a colossal country music festival attracting tens of thousands of fans to the Wildwood beachfront in September has announced its lineup of chart-topping performers.
Post Malone, Eric Church, Kelsea Ballerini and Miranda Lambert will be the main headliners for the Barefoot Country Music Fest set for June 18-21.
“Collectively, they represent dozens of No. 1 singles, billions of global streams, Grammy nominations and wins, and some of the most dynamic live performances in the genre,” according to a news release announcing the festival’s performers.
Entering its sixth year in Wildwood, the Barefoot Country Music Fest is the largest outdoor country music festival in the Northeast, drawing crowds in the tens of thousands each time it is held between Morey’s Piers amusement rides and the beach.
It transforms the shoreline into a four-day oceanfront celebration featuring chart-topping headliners, multi-platinum superstars, crossover icons and the next wave of breakout talent, the concert organizers said.
“Recognized by major national outlets and praised for its electric atmosphere and iconic beachside setting, BCMF delivers a one-of-a-kind blend of live music, immersive fan experiences, and Boardwalk energy,” the release stated.
With more than 40 artists performing across multiple stages, BCMF continues its tradition of pairing global superstars with emerging acts – some of whom will make their debuts this year at the festival.
In addition to the four headliners, the fan favorites and rising stars joining the lineup include Cole Swindell, Tucker Wetmore, Ty Myers, Shaboozey, Chase Rice, Tracy Lawrence, Chase Matthew, The Fray, Chris Lane, Ashley Cooke, Dasha, Colt Ford, Hank Azaria & The EZ Street Band, Braxton Keith, Graham Barham, Emily Ann Roberts, Jake Worthington,The Wilder Blue, Laci Kaye Booth, Myles Morgan, Filmore, Craig Whittaker, Mary Kutter, Heritage of America Band and DJ Slim McGraw.
“This is one of the strongest lineups in Barefoot history,” said Bob Durkin, co-founder of Southern Entertainment, the event’s promoter. “We’ve secured Post Malone – the hottest name in music – alongside a legend like Eric Church. Having Kelsea Ballerini and Miranda Lambert on the bill showcases the different sides of country today. Each day is better than the next."
