Shaboozey Is Coming to Wildwood For BCMF 2026
BCMF Ballers Week kicked off today with a major reveal, bringing one of the biggest rising names in music to the Wildwood beach next summer.
Festival organizers announced that Shaboozey, the five-time GRAMMY-nominated artist who is reshaping modern country music, will take the stage at the Barefoot Country Music Fest when it returns June 18 through 21, 2026.
Shaboozey Is Coming to Wildwood For BCMF 2026
Shaboozey’s rise over the past year has been nothing short of explosive. NPR recently called him the future of country music, a title backed by his chart dominance and critical acclaim.
His platinum certified album Where I Have Been, Is Not Where I Am Going debuted inside the Top Five on the Billboard 200 and earned high praise from critics at Rolling Stone for blending classic country influence with a sound that feels entirely new.
His mega hit A Bar Song (Tipsy) has surpassed one billion streams and is now certified eight times platinum. The single also made music history, hitting number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts, making Shaboozey the first Black male artist ever to achieve that milestone.

Looking ahead to the 2025 GRAMMY Awards, Shaboozey is nominated in five major categories, including Best New Artist and Song of the Year.
He has already collected wins from the People’s Choice Country Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and Variety’s Hitmakers, along with nominations from the CMA Awards, ACMs, and MTV VMAs.
His live shows have become just as talked about as his chart success. Shaboozey’s first headlining tour sold out nationwide, and he has spent the year performing in arenas across the country as part of Jelly Roll’s tour. His BCMF performance is expected to draw a massive crowd.
