Chris Lane, The Fray, Ashley Cooke & Colt Ford Are Headed to the Beach!
Barefoot fam… if you thought the 2026 lineup was already stacked, we’ve got news for you. Barefoot Country Music Fest just added FOUR more must-see artists, and the vibes are officially off the charts.
Say hello to Chris Lane, The Fray, Ashley Cooke, and Colt Ford — all bringing their sound, their stories, and their fans to Wildwood Beach, June 18–21, 2026.
This is exactly what BCMF does best: mixing chart-topping country, crossover favorites, rising stars, and trailblazers into one unforgettable beach weekend.
CHRIS LANE = FEEL-GOOD COUNTRY SUMMER
Chris Lane is rolling into BCMF with new music, deep roots, and a catalog full of songs you already know by heart. From massive hits like “Big, Big Plans” and “I Don’t Know About You” to his newest era inspired by small-town life and family, Chris Lane brings the kind of laid-back, sing-along energy that hits just right on the sand.
THE FRAY ON THE BEACH?! YES, REALLY
This one’s big. The Fray is back — and they’re bringing their iconic, emotional, hands-in-the-air anthems to Wildwood Beach. Songs like “How to Save a Life” and “Over My Head (Cable Car)” are about to sound even bigger with the ocean behind them and the crowd singing every word.
A full-circle moment. A total BCMF vibe.
ASHLEY COOKE IS HAVING A MOMENT
Ashley Cooke is one of country music’s fastest-rising stars — and she’s bringing that momentum straight to the beach. Fresh off her first No. 1 hit and a breakout year packed with awards, tours, and unforgettable performances, Ashley’s honest lyrics and powerhouse delivery are going to hit HARD in Wildwood.
If you love discovering artists right as they’re breaking through… this is your moment.
COLT FORD: A TRUE ORIGINAL
Colt Ford doesn’t follow trends — he creates his own lane. A pioneer of country-rap and an independent music force, Colt brings grit, heart, and a whole lot of energy to the BCMF stage. His story, his resilience, and his ability to connect with fans make his sets unforgettable — and his return to the road makes this one extra special.
AND THAT’S JUST THE START…
These four join an already massive 2026 lineup featuring Post Malone, Eric Church, Kelsea Ballerini, Miranda Lambert, Cole Swindell, Tucker Wetmore, Shaboozey, Ty Myers, and 40+ more artists across five stages.
Country. Crossover. Classics. New favorites.
All on the beach.
All in one weekend.
