MORGAN WALLEN
Joining the annual Barefoot Country Music Festival in Wildwood, which debuted in 2021, the TidalWave Music Festival — taking place on two stages on the Atlantic City beach, Aug. 12-14 — gives New Jersey its second major country music festival (or its third, if you count the long-running Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival in Woodstown).
Morgan Wallen, Luke Bryan and Dierks Bentley will co-headline, with other performers including Chase Rice, Riley Green, Lauren Alaina, Lindsay Ell and Hardy.
Here is the TidalWave schedule. Each day, the country DJ Dee Jay Silver will also perform on the main stage, at 2 p.m. and between later sets.
