Boots In The Park Comes to San Diego

Boots In The Park brings a vibrant country music experience to San Diego's Waterfront Park on April 11, 2026, with the city becoming a key stop on the festival's Western expansion. The 2026 San Diego edition features an impressive lineup spanning from established country superstars to emerging talent in the genre.

The Headliners

Miranda Lambert anchors the festival as the most-awarded artist in Academy of Country Music history, bringing her 10th solo studio album Postcards from Texas to the stage. With three Grammy Awards and 14 Country Music Association Awards to her credit, Lambert is also a TIME100 honoree and described by NPR as "the most riveting country star of her generation."

Jordan Davis brings multi-platinum credentials to the lineup. His second album Bluebird Days produced four consecutive number-one singles, with "Buy Dirt" achieving 5x Platinum status and winning at the 2022 CMA Awards. Davis has accumulated over 4 billion career streams, establishing himself as a consistent force on country radio.

Dylan Scott completes the headliner trio as an ACM-nominated multi-platinum artist. The Louisiana native has earned four number-one singles including "My Girl," "Nobody," "New Truck," and "Can't Have Mine," plus the Top 5 hit "Hooked." Scott has toured with major country acts including Garth Brooks and Luke Bryan.

The supporting lineup includes rising artist MacKenzie Carpenter (featured on Spotify's Hot Country 2024 Artists To Watch), Kelsey Hart (known for songwriting cuts on major country records), and Daniel Bonte (an Indiana native blending blues and rock influences into country music).
