The Duckman is headed to the water.
Riley Green has been announced as the third headliner for Barefoot Country Music Fest, the annual four-day festival held on the beach in beautiful Wildwood, New Jersey.
The newest judge on The Voice becomes the third announced headliner, joining Carrie Underwood and Florida Georgia Line with one headliner still to be announced.
Speaking on the addition to the lineup, Southern Entertainment co-founder Bob Durkin praised Riley as one of country music’s biggest stars:
“Riley is the real deal. Seven No. 1 hits, a new album and now he’s on The Voice — he’s got a lot to be excited about. Riley knows how to put on one heck of a show, and we know Wildwood is going to be ready for it.”
If you’ve never been to Barefoot Country Music Fest – or Wildwood, New Jersey – it’s the perfect destination for a summer festival that combines a beach vacation with one of the top country music events of the year. Last year’s festival featured some of the best in the business, with headlining sets from Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Post Malone and Kelsea Ballerini along with performances from artists like Tucker Wetmore, Tracy Lawrence, Chase Rice, Cole Swindell, and many, many more.
With over 40 artists yet to be revealed – including the final headliner for the 4-day festival – Barefoot Country Music Fest is once again shaping up to be one of the top festivals of the 2027 season. And to make it even better: It’s right on the sand on the beaches of New Jersey.
The festival takes place directly on the New Jersey coast, between the famous Morey’s Piers, and provides a picturesque backdrop for four nights of country music, along with plenty for festival goers to do during their vacation. Wildwood, New Jersey is the southern-most barrier island in New Jersey and has been recognized as the top family vacation destination at the Jersey Shore for decades.
What more could you ask for?
The 2027 edition of Barefoot Country Music Fest runs from June 10-17, and tickets are on sale now (there were a lot of people in the comments who were quick to jump on and lock down their tickets once it was announced that Carrie would be returning). 3-day general admission tickets start at just $320 before taxes and fees, which is cheaper than most tickets to a single concert these days and also include admission to the Thursday night kickoff concert. There are also payment plans available starting at just $19 down, which makes things easy as you plan for 2027.
There’s a good chance this one sells out, so if you’re thinking about booking a trip to New Jersey next year you’re probably going to want to lock in tickets sooner rather than later. You can find more information and buy your tickets at BarefootCountryMusicFest.com, and of course there are plenty of VIP options available too if you’re looking to upgrade your experience.
With 3 massive headliners yet to be announced, as well as a jam-packed lineup of the best in country music, you’re not going to want to miss this one.
