Multi-platinum country star joins Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw, Florida Georgia Line and Riley Green for four-day beach festival June 17–20.
WILDWOOD, N.J. — Country music star Lee Brice is headed to the Jersey Shore next summer, joining an already impressive lineup for the 2027 Barefoot Country Music Fest on the beach in Wildwood.
Festival organizers announced Friday, November 6, that Brice will perform at the seventh annual event, scheduled for June 17–20, 2027.
Brice joins previously announced headliners Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw, Florida Georgia Line and Riley Green, adding another major name to one of the Northeast's largest outdoor country music festivals.
The four-day event will feature more than 40 artists performing across multiple stages on the beach between Morey's Piers.
Nine No. 1 Hits and Billions of Streams
Brice has established himself as one of country music's most successful performers and songwriters, with nine No. 1 country radio singles and more than 12.5 billion career streams, according to festival organizers.
His best-known hits include "A Woman Like You," "Hard to Love," "I Drive Your Truck," "I Don't Dance," "Drinking Class," "Rumor" and "One of Them Girls."
His collaboration with Carly Pearce, "I Hope You're Happy Now," earned Musical Event of the Year at the 2020 Country Music Association Awards.
The song also received Single of the Year and Music Event of the Year honors at the 2021 Academy of Country Music Awards.
Brice's success extends beyond his own recordings. He has written songs recorded by major country artists, including Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean and Kenny Chesney.
His hit "One of Them Girls" received ASCAP's 2021 Country Song of the Year honor, while his 2020 album, "Hey World," achieved platinum certification.
New Music Coming to Wildwood
Brice's appearance at Barefoot Country Music Fest follows the October 2026 release of his sixth studio album, "Sunriser."
The album was released alongside an expanded 32-track deluxe edition, "Sunriser (All-Nighter)."
The project explores themes of love, faith, family and perseverance, featuring songs including "Killed the Man," "Truck Bed Mixtape" and "Never Meet Your Heroes," a collaboration with country music legend Vince Gill.
The new material gives Brice an expanded catalog to draw from when he takes the stage in Wildwood next June.
Festival organizers have not yet announced which day Brice will perform.
Major Country Stars Returning to the Jersey Shore
The addition of Brice strengthens a lineup already featuring some of the biggest names in country music.
Carrie Underwood, one of the genre's most decorated performers, is known for hits including "Before He Cheats," "Jesus, Take the Wheel" and "Blown Away."
Tim McGraw has enjoyed decades of chart success with songs including "Live Like You Were Dying," "Humble and Kind" and "Something Like That."
Florida Georgia Line helped define modern country music with hits such as "Cruise," "This Is How We Roll" and "H.O.L.Y."
Riley Green has become a major attraction among younger country fans with songs including "There Was This Girl" and "I Wish Grandpas Never Died."
Together with Brice, the announced performers represent a combination of established country superstars and more recent chart-topping acts.
Additional artists are expected to be announced in the coming months.
