Luke Bryan and Megan Moroney to Headline 2027 Coastal Country Jam

Luke Bryan and Megan Moroney will headline the 2027 Coastal Country Jam.

The festival returns to Huntington Beach on May 22 and May 23.

It is the first time the event has been held on the sand since 2022.

Coastal Country Jam originally launched on Huntington Beach in 2016.

It moved to Long Beach in 2023 and stayed there for two years.

Now it is coming back to its original home.

Activated Events, the company behind the festival, made the announcement.

Steve Thacher is the Founder and CEO of Activated Events.

"We've been working for the last couple of years to bring Coastal Country Jam back to where it all started, and it feels good to be returning to Huntington Beach with Luke Bryan and Megan Moroney," Thacher said in a statement.

"We really enjoyed our time in Long Beach, and we're grateful to everyone who joined us there," he added.

"We're back, and we can't wait to see everyone on the sand."

Luke Bryan will headline Saturday night, May 22.

Bryan is one of country music's most successful entertainers.

He has earned numerous industry accolades throughout his career.

His catalog includes chart-topping hits like "Country Girl (Shake It for Me)," "Play It Again," and "That's My Kind of Night."

Bryan has built a reputation for delivering high-energy live performances.

He has had 26 songs reach No. 1 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart.

His first No. 1 was 2010's "Rain Is a Good Thing."

In a recent Billboard interview, Bryan recalled the story behind that song.

"I was right outside of my college town — I think it was our first Farm Tour show ever," Bryan said.

"The beauty of that video, is just really, really me in a nutshell," he added.

"We didn't have a super big video budget, we knew we had a great little show to video."

"It brings back, really, a special time in my career where I'm praying every day that I can build my career."

"The best way to build your career is to have your first No. 1 song on Billboard, and obviously 'Rain Is a Good Thing' was that."

Bryan co-wrote the song with Dallas Davidson.

"We were still relatively young writers, and we took a phrase we grew up hearing in South Georgia," Bryan said.

"The fact that we were able to take something we heard as young men, and go on to become my first Billboard No. 1, was really incredible."

Bryan also discussed his emotional 2014 hit "Drink a Beer."

He said the song helped show a different side of his artistry.

"I think at the time I was known as the uptempo, really energetic, high-energy party guy," Bryan said.

"So when I put 'Drink a Beer' out, it just really showed another depth of my artistry."

"I could have a very impactful song, with a deep subject matter."

The song was written by Jim Beavers and Chris Stapleton.

Bryan performed it at the CMAs in 2013 with Stapleton.

"The bottom line was I was just really happy to share that moment with Chris," Bryan said.

"The lyrics of that song, the emotion of that song, spoke to a country audience as good as you could speak."

Megan Moroney will headline Sunday, May 23.

Moroney has become one of the genre's most exciting new stars.

Her hits include "Tennessee Orange," "I'm Not Pretty," and "Am I Okay?"
