Luke Bryan & Megan Moroney to Headline Coastal Country Jam 2027

Coastal Country Jam is returning to Huntington Beach in 2027 with Luke Bryan and Megan Moroney headlining the SoCal beachside country festival.

Activated Events, the independent live event company behind the festival, announced the lineup and the location change.

The festival moved to Long Beach in 2023, but it is now heading back to Huntington Beach, the city where the event first began.

“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,” said Steve Thacher, Founder and CEO of Activated Events.

“We really enjoyed our time in Long Beach, and we’re grateful to everyone who joined us there. We’re back, and we can’t wait to see everyone on the sand.”

The festival takes place May 22 and 23, 2027.

Luke Bryan closes out the first night.

Bryan’s headlining set follows performances from Thomas Rhett, Josh Ross, Ashley Cooke, Myles Morgan, Joe Peters and an act to be announced later.

Megan Moroney headlines the second night.

That night also features Parker McCollum, Avery Anna, Corey Kent, John Morgan, Colin Lynch and Presley Tennant.

The two-day festival offers more than a dozen acts across both days.

On-site experiences include The Belt Buckle Line Dancing Hall.

The Smoke Show BBQ pitmaster cooking demos are also available.

Pour Decisions mixology bar offers crafted cocktails.

Rosé Rodeo wine bar serves wine selections.

On The Wagon mocktail bar provides non-alcoholic options.

Tailgate Tavern sports bar is set up for game-watching.

Cornhole tournaments run throughout the weekend.

Mechanical bull riding is also part of the experience.

Fans can register now at coastalcountryjam.com for presale access to single-day and two-day passes.

The presale begins Nov. 12, 2026, at 10 a.m. PT.

The general onsale begins Nov. 13, 2026, at 10 a.m. PT.

Luke Bryan has a long history with large-scale touring and community-focused events.

He began taking his concerts to working farms in 2009.

The Farm Tour was created to put Bryan’s shows directly into agricultural communities rather than limiting them to arenas and amphitheaters.

Since its launch in 2009, the tour has visited working farms across the United States.

Fields and farm properties are turned into temporary concert venues.

By the close of his 17th Farm Tour in September 2026, the project had awarded 97 college scholarships.

The scholarships are designed to support young people with direct ties to agriculture.

A sponsor-linked campaign through Bayer and the #HerestotheFarmer campaign had provided more than 11 million meals.

The 2026 edition continued the tour’s long-running partnership with Bayer.

It combined concerts in rural settings with practical support for farming families, local food banks and students pursuing higher education near the tour stops.

Bryan’s audience is often made up of rural residents, agricultural workers and families whose livelihoods depend on farming.

The Farm Tour has grown from a novel concert format into a sustained program with measurable benefits for students, food-insecure households and rural communities.

Megan Moroney has emerged as one of country music’s fastest-rising stars in recent years.

She has built a strong following with her blend of traditional country storytelling and modern production.

Her headlining slot at Coastal Country Jam 2027 marks a major career milestone.

Coastal Country Jam originally launched in Huntington Beach and quickly became a signature Southern California beachside festival.

The move to Long Beach in 2023 was seen as an experiment in a larger venue.

Activated Events has now decided to return the festival to its original home.

The return to Huntington Beach is expected to draw fans from across the region.

The beachside setting offers a unique concert experience with the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop.

Ticket demand is expected to be high given the strength of the headliners.

Fans who register for presale access through the festival website will have the first opportunity to purchase passes.

The presale window opens Nov. 12, 2026, at 10 a.m. PT.

General on-sale follows one day later on Nov. 13, 2026, at 10 a.m. PT.

Both single-day and two-day passes will be available.

Additional acts may be announced in the coming months.

The festival has not yet confirmed the full lineup for both stages.

Live Nation, the world’s largest live entertainment company, settled a separate lawsuit in 2026 involving a fan injured at a Luke Bryan concert in 2022.

That lawsuit was brought by a fan who was injured during a performance.

Live Nation settled the case out of court.

Details of the settlement were not publicly disclosed.

That legal matter is separate from the Coastal Country Jam announcement.

Coastal Country Jam is independently produced by Activated Events.

Activated Events is an independent live event company based in Southern California.

The company has produced the festival since its inception.

The festival has grown from a single-day event to a two-day destination festival.

Huntington Beach city officials have welcomed the return of the festival.

The event is expected to bring significant tourism revenue to the area.

Local hotels, restaurants and businesses typically see a boost during festival weekends.

The festival also provides a platform for emerging country artists to reach new audiences.

Acts like Josh Ross, Ashley Cooke, Avery Anna and Corey Kent represent the next wave of country talent.
