(Nashville, Tennessee…) – June 1, 2023 – Moments before night one’s headlining performance at 11^th Annual Gulf Coast Jam Presented by Jim Beam tonight, organizers Rendy Lovelady and Mark Sheldon took the stage to inform the sold-out crowd that ACM Male Artist of the Year Morgan Wallen is confirmed to headline next year’s event on Sunday, June 2, 2024 at Frank Brown Park in beautiful Panama City Beach.

Wallen, the only artist to have two albums spend their first ten weeks at #1 in Billboard 200 history - with One Thing At A Time’s climb continuing into week 11 – was scheduled to perform at this year’s event but had to cancel after suffering from vocal fold trauma.

“As we said last year, Morgan Wallen is one of the most requested headliners we have ever had in the history of Gulf Coast Jam, and his star is continuing to shine even brighter,” said festival Executive Producer Rendy Lovelady. “We’ve been working feverishly with Morgan and his team over the last three weeks to figure out a way to get him down here next year, and we’re happy to announce he is locked for 2024!”

Tickets for the 2024 Gulf Coast Jam Presented by Jim Beam, listed by Billboard as one of “The 10 Best Country Music Festivals,” are available now at www.GulfCoastJam.com. The 12^th annual Country On The Coast event will again encompass four days of music May 30 – June 2, 2024. Additional headliners and the full lineup will be released in the coming weeks.

“We were all saddened to hear Morgan was forced to cancel his festival appearance this year, however we all wish him well and are honored to have Kenny Chesney step in to perform this Saturday to keep the weekend rockin’ for our Jammers,” added Gulf Coast Jam Presented by Jim Beam COO Mark Sheldon. “We’re going to have a blast this week with HARDY, Miranda Lambert, Chesney, Kane Brown, and 20+ additional amazing artists.”

Breland, Dylan Marlowe, and Them Dirty Roses performed before HARDY hit the stage tonight. Friday will see Miranda Lambert, Justin Moore, Warren Zeiders, Shane Profitt and DOZZI on the massive main stage. Kenny Chesney, Chase Rice, Ernest, Bailey Zimmerman and Lily Rose will perform on Saturday night. Kane Brown, Gabby Barrett, Dylan Scott, MacKenzie Porter, and Seaforth will close out on Sunday. The winners of the Jim Beam Welcome Sessions will open each night of the Festival.

ABOUT MORGAN WALLEN

Hailed by Billboard for making “his superstar arrival as a touring artist” in 2022, Morgan Wallen recently wrapped his 55-show Dangerous Tour with his first headlining stadium show at Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX, which saw him shatter attendance records previously held by Elton John and Lady Gaga. Now, the ACM Male Artist of the Year who had record-setting shows in 30 venues across the country - with the only country tour nominated for Pollstar’s Major Tour of the Year– has embarked on a massive world tour. Spanning 29 stadium-plays across 5 countries and 3 continents, plus arenas, amphitheaters and festivals, Wallen’s 62-show One Night At A Time World Tour will deliver the man The New Yorker dubbed as “the most wanted man in country” to fans worldwide.

With over 18.2 billion on-demand streams and eight chart-toppers at Country radio, the East Tennessean recently became the first artist to have three singles simultaneously in the top-10 on country radio with “Last Night,” “One Thing At A Time” and “Thought You Should Know” – as “Last Night” became Wallen’s fastest-climbing No. 1 to-date (with just 11 weeks) and the fastest-charting No. 1 since 2015, topping breakout hit “You Proof” which reached No. 1 after just 14 weeks and remained at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart for a record-breaking ten non-consecutive weeks. On the heels of the unparalleled success of his 5x platinum, ACM Album of the Year, Dangerous: The Double Album (Big Loud/Mercury/Republic Records) – which topped 2021's all-genre Billboard 200 Albums year-end chart and notched historical chart status as Billboard’s longest running Top 10 album in history for a solo artist (with 120 total weeks spent in the Top 10, eclipsing Adele’s 21 and Bruce Springsteen’s Born In The USA), Wallen’s 36-song deeply personal third studio album, One Thing At A Time, is available now, where it remains at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts for its 11th consecutive week. $3 from every U.S. ticket sold for the One Night At A Time World Tour will benefit the Morgan Wallen Foundation
