Flo Rida is closing out 2026 with a New Year’s Eve performance at Yaamava Theater at Yaamava Resort and Casino in Highland, offering Southern California fans a high-energy send-off to the year. The hitmaker, known for party anthems like “Low” and “Good Feeling,” will also appear at Morgan Wallen’s eclectic Sand In My Boots festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama, in May 2027, as first reported by Pollstar.
According to Spin, the festival lineup reflects Wallen’s genre-blending vision, pairing country headliners with hip-hop, pop, and electronic acts. Flo Rida joins a diverse bill that includes Kings of Leon, Kygo, Nelly, and Ying Yang Twins, among others. The festival returns after a sold-out 2025 debut and a year off in 2026, with Wallen promising elevated production and new stage concepts.
Festival Details and Charitable Focus
Sand In My Boots takes place May 21–23, 2027, in Gulf Shores, Alabama, and is produced in partnership with AEG Presents. Per the announcement, the event aims to blend a major music festival atmosphere with a relaxed beach vacation vibe. Pass options range from GA to premium tiers offering amenities like in-ground pools near the main stage, complimentary bars, gourmet food, and private restrooms.
The festival also continues Wallen’s philanthropic efforts through the Morgan Wallen Foundation, which has donated over $2 million in instruments to schools in need across U.S. touring cities since its Tour Give Back initiative began. Following the 2025 event, the foundation contributed more than $200,000 in instruments to five Alabama schools.
SoCal Celebration and Beyond
For local fans, Flo Rida’s New Year’s Eve show at Yaamava offers a prime opportunity to experience his electrifying live set close to home. The resort’s theater has become a sought-after destination for major holiday performances, drawing audiences from across the region.
While Sand In My Boots is anchored in Alabama, its genre-diverse booking strategy resonates with Southern California’s own eclectic live music scene, where cross-genre festivals and multi-artist bills frequently draw strong crowds. The inclusion of pop and hip-hop stars like Flo Rida alongside country hitmakers reflects broader trends in festival programming that appeal to SoCal’s diverse listener base.
Looking ahead, Flo Rida’s Yaamava appearance on December 31 is currently his only confirmed Southern California date. Tickets for the New Year’s Eve event are expected to be in high demand, while festival passes for Sand In My Boots are available now through the event’s official website.
