A major two-day country music festival is returning to the Huntington Beach shoreline on May 22 and 23, 2027. Organized by Activated Events, the Coastal Country Jam will be headlined by Luke Bryan and Megan Moroney. This edition marks a homecoming for the event, which is moving back to its original California location after a two-year stint in Long Beach.

Why is the festival returning to Huntington Beach?

The event first launched on these shores in 2016 before relocating to Long Beach's Marina Green Park in 2023. Steve Thacher, the founder and CEO of Activated Events, noted that returning to the festival's roots has been a primary objective for several years. "We've been working for the last couple of years to bring Coastal Country Jam back to where it all started," Thacher said in an official statement.

Who is performing at the event?

The Saturday lineup features Luke Bryan as the closing act, with performances from Thomas Rhett, Josh Ross, Ashley Cooke, Myles Morgan, and Joe Peters. One additional artist is expected to be announced for Saturday later. On Sunday, Megan Moroney will lead the final day of music. The Sunday roster includes Parker McCollum, Avery Anna, Corey Kent, John Morgan, Colin Lynch, and Presley Tennant.
