This country star coming to Myrtle Beach to headline Carolina Country Music Fest

Carolina Country Music Fest has added another heavy-hitter to its 2022 lineup: Keith Urban.

The festival announced Urban as the third headliner Friday. He’ll join Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan in leading the four-day festival taking place June 9-12, 2022. CCMF routinely attracts thousands of country fans to the beach.

The rest of 2022’s acts haven’t been announced yet.

Urban is known for love songs “Blue Ain’t Your Color” and “Somebody Like You,” and has won four GRAMMYs. He’s collaborated with an array of artists from Justin Timberlake to Taylor Swift to Post Malone.

The festival returned this year after a coronavirus-induced absence in 2020, featuring country acts Luke Combs, Darius Rucker, Jake Owen and Eric Church among others.
