The Carolina Country Music Fest has dropped another headliner announcement -- and we promise this one won't crash the party.

Let's all get into the mind of a country boy as we drink a beer, kick the dust up and get our country on... because Luke Bryan is coming to Myrtle Beach for CCMF 2026!

The five-time Entertainer of the Year joins previously announced headliners Blake Shelton and Post Malone for what's gearing up to be one of the best CCMFs, ever!

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. Luke recently wrapped his eighth year as a celebrity judge on ABC’s "American Idol” alongside Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood.

“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 CCMF cofouner Bob Durkin. “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 national media powerhouses USA Today, Billboard, and Rolling Stone -- CCMF is one of the most in-demand country music fests in the nation. CCMF is celebrating more than a decade of unforgettable live music on the shores of Myrtle Beach.

"It's hard to top our last year's lineup, but I think we did it this year," Durkin told ABC15 last month. "I think people are going to be very happy. We have some huge country artists that have never been to CCMF coming, that's going to be exciting, and a couple of the hottest country artists out there are coming."

You heard it here first! ABC15 is your CCMF Insider. We're down to one headliner left to be announced -- along with a whole festival of entertainers who will keep the party rockin' all weekend long! Be the first to know -- download the WPDE app. (Download: Google Play Store | Apple App Store)
