WILDWOOD, N.J. (October 2, 2026) – Barefoot Country Music Fest (BCMF) has announced CMA and ACM Award winner Riley Green as its third headliner for 2027, bringing the country hitmaker back to Wildwood Beach after his 2023 BCMF performance.
Green joins headliners Carrie Underwood and Florida Georgia Line as the lineup for BCMF 2027 continues to take shape. His return comes amid a major run that includes seven No. 1 songs, a new studio album, multiple industry awards and an expansive 2027 tour.
“Riley is the real deal,” said Bob Durkin, co-founder of Southern Entertainment. “Seven No. 1 hits, a new album and now he’s on The Voice — he’s got a lot to be excited about. Riley knows how to put on one heck of a show, and we know Wildwood is going to be ready for it.”
Green released his fourth studio album, That’s Just Me, on Sept. 18 via Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment. The project follows 2024’s Don’t Mind If I Do and continues Green’s signature approach to country storytelling that has produced seven No. 1 songs, including the 2X-platinum “There Was This Girl” and hits “you look like you love me,” “Different Round Here” and “Worst Way.” His catalog also includes the 3X-platinum fan favorite “I Wish Grandpas Never Died.”
Green has earned five ACM Awards and four CMA Awards and has been recognized as Billboard’s Hitmaker of the Year and MusicRow’s Breakout Artist of the Year. Beyond music, Green recently made his acting debut on CBS’ “Marshals” and has been announced as a coach for Season 30 of “The Voice.”
Currently wrapping his “Cowboy As It Gets Tour,” Green will return to the road in 2027 for his newly announced 29-date “That’s Just Me Tour.” The run begins in April and continues through July with stops across the United States and Canada.
