Eric Church to Headline Barefoot Country Music Fest 2026 in Wildwood, New Jersey
Eric Church is set to headline the Barefoot Country Music Fest (BCMF) in Wildwood, New Jersey in June 2026. Known for his dynamic live performances and extensive music catalog, Church's appearance at the festival is highly anticipated. His latest album, Evangeline vs. The Machine, has garnered significant acclaim, featuring hits like "Hell of a View" and "Heart on Fire."
Church's impressive career includes multiple awards, such as seven Academy of Country Music Awards and four Country Music Association Awards. He is also recognized for his philanthropic efforts, as seen in his donation of royalties from the song "Darkest Hour" to support hurricane recovery in North Carolina. Additionally, Church is involved in various ventures outside of music, including ownership in the Charlotte Hornets and the Field & Stream brand.
With Church's confirmation as a headliner, BCMF's 2026 lineup is shaping up to be one of its strongest yet. Alongside previously announced headliner Post Malone, the festival promises a diverse range of performers across various genres. BCMF has established itself as a premier music festival, attracting country music fans from around the country. Tickets for the event are expected to sell out quickly, so fans are encouraged to secure their passes early.
