Post Malone Is Coming to Wildwood!
While Barefoot Country Music Festival was only a few months back, the Wildwoods are now gearing up for 2026.
To get the ball rolling, BCMF has announced its first superstar headliner for 2026, and it is none other than Post Malone.
The festival returns to the Wildwood beach from June 18 through June 21, 2026, and this first reveal already has fans buzzing about what is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated weekends of next summer.
Post Malone Is Coming to Wildwood!
For those who haven’t heard of Post Malone before. He has become one of the most recognizable and genre-bending names in music, and his recent pivot into country has taken the industry by storm.
His debut country album F-1 Trillion, immediately shot to number one on the Billboard 200 and delivered several massive hits, including “Guy For That” with Luke Combs, “Pour Me A Drink” with Blake Shelton, and “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen.

That track debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, setting a record for the highest weekly sales and streams since 2020 and holding the top spot for six straight weeks.
The album, along with collaborations with Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, earned Post Malone eight Grammy nominations this year.
His catalog also includes some of the most iconic anthems in modern music such as “Circles,” “Sunflower,” “Congratulations,” and “rockstar.”
With his new country sound, Post has quickly crossed into a new lane that makes him a perfect fit for Barefoot Country Music Fest.
The announcement comes on the heels of a massive 2025 BCMF, which was one of the most successful in the festival’s history.
