Luke Bryan will headline Caroline Country Music Fest (CCMF), the East Coast's largest outdoor country music festival, head at Myrtle Beach, S.C on 4th to 7th June 2026.
The five-time Entertainer of the Year joins previously announced headliners Blake Shelton and Post Malone as CCMF continues to build one of its most exciting lineups to date.
With a career spanning more than 15 years at the top of country music, Bryan has amassed 26.6 billion global streams, 11.9 million album sales, and 47.7 million track sales worldwide. He is the most digital single RIAA-certified country artist of all time with 117.5 million digital single units, including 19 million album certifications and 98 million single certifications. A prolific hitmaker, Bryan has notched 32 #1 singles, 17 of which he co-wrote, and spent 58 total weeks at #1 on the charts.
Beyond the music, Bryan has become one of the most recognizable figures in the genre, serving as host of the ACM Awards five times and the CMA Awards four times, in addition to his eight-year run as a judge on ABC’s American Idol. His accolades include 50+ major music awards, including five wins as Entertainer of the Year, the ACM Album of the Decade Award, and recognition from Billboard, CMT, and the Country Music Association. He has also been honored for his philanthropy, receiving the ACM Lifting Lives Award and the Country Radio Broadcasters Artist Humanitarian Award.
“Luke Bryan is one of the biggest entertainers in country music, and having him join Blake Shelton and Post Malone makes this year’s CCMF lineup one of the most exciting we’ve ever built,” said Bob Durkin, co-founder of Southern Entertainment, producers of CCMF. “His catalog of hits, his energy on stage, and his connection with fans are unmatched — this is going to be a show to remember.”
With four consecutive sellouts and recognition from USA Today, Billboard, and Rolling Stone, Carolina Country Music Fest has spent more than a decade delivering unforgettable live music experiences on the shores of Myrtle Beach. Luke Bryan is the third of four superstar headliners to be announced, with more to follow in the weeks ahead.
