Myrtle Beach once again welcomes legions of fans and some of country music’s hottest headliners for the return of the popular Carolina Country Music Fest on June 5-8.
Touted as the largest outdoor country music festival on the East Coast, CCMF is celebrating its 10th anniversary along the Grand Strand and annually hosts top headliners, regional stars, burgeoning country crooners, and local favorites on several stages.
This year’s lineup includes stars like Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Rascal Flatts, and Kid Rock. Fans can also enjoy performances by Brantley Gilbert, Chris Young, Chase Rice, and the Beach Boys.
Jelly Roll’s top hits include “Halfway to Hell”, “Save Me”, “Need a Favor,” “Son of a Sinner,” and more recently, “I Am Not Okay”, a vulnerable, emotionally raw song that has helped shine a national spotlight on mental health issues.
Lainey Wilson has also risen in the country music ranks and is one of the most popular vocalists of that genre, winning Entertainer of the Year trophies at both the Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association awards. The talented songstress is known for “Heart Like a Truck”, “4x4xU”, “Watermelon Moonshine”, “Things a Man Oughta Know”, and several other top hits. She also performed in several episodes of the TV series “Yellowstone.”
Chris Young is another popular country artist, with hits such as “I’m Comin’ Over”, and a peppy duet with Kane Brown, “Famous Friends”.
Chris Rice, with his seductive, gravelly voice, sells out venues on his own headlining tours, and fans will be familiar with hits such as “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen” featuring Florida Georgia Line, and “Gonna Wanna Tonight.”
Other notable acts include The Frontmen, Tyler Hubbard, Dylan Gossett, David Lee Murphy, Priscilla Block, Colt Ford, Mitchell Tenpenny, and many more.
Tickets are sold out but fans have opportunities to get tickets on the official CCMF exchange. For more information on which musical artists will be performing on particular days during the four-day event (not available at press time), visit carolinacountrymusicfest.com
