Carolina Country Music Festival organizers announced their latest headliner for next year’s show: Post Malone.

The event is scheduled to take place from June 4 to 7 in downtown Myrtle Beach.

The festival posted a press release on its website Friday morning announcing Malone as the next headliner.

“Expect a set that blends country soul, pop swagger, and Post’s signature emotional grit,” the festival wrote in the release.

Last week, they announced that country star Blake Shelton would also be headlining next year’s festival. It will be his first time ever performing at CCMF, a press release from Friday, Aug. 22 said.

“Whether you know him from The Voice, his Ole Red venues, or his chart-topping hits like “God Gave Me You” and “Boys ‘Round Here,” Blake’s set at CCMF promises to be one of the most unforgettable moments of the summer,” the release read. “Expect a mix of classics, new favorites, and that unmistakable Oklahoma charm.”
