Hold onto your hats, folks, because the country music scene is about to get a whole lot sandier! Morgan Wallen, the 15-time Billboard Music Awards champ, isn’t just strolling into Gulf Shores, Alabama—he’s bulldozing in with his own damn music festival, and it’s called Sand in My Boots. That’s right, Wallen is stepping into the spotlight and taking over what used to be the Hangout Music Festival. And you better believe he’s bringing his A-game!

What’s Happening in Gulf Shores?

For those who’ve been living under a rock, the Hangout Music Festival has been the go-to for beach bums and music lovers since 2010. But in 2025, it’s getting a makeover. Instead of the usual lineup, we’re in for a treat with Wallen curating a festival that promises to be a sun-soaked, wild ride. Forget the old—this is a new era of fun, music, and maybe a little bit of mischief.

  • Date: May 2025—mark your calendars, because this isn’t one to miss!
  • Location: The iconic beaches of Gulf Shores, where the sand is hot and the vibes are even hotter.

Now, if you’re thinking this is just another run-of-the-mill festival, think again. Wallen is pulling all the strings, so expect a lineup that will be as spicy as a jalapeño in a sauna. He’s got a whole damn crew of talented artists ready to tear it up on stage. Can you say epic?
