The line up announcements start in December. Keep an eye on our social media!

We curate a line up of independent country artists predominately from the UK but we do feature international artists as well. Previous artists have come from Nashville, Texas and mainland Europe to perform. Our aim to support the UK country music scene and therefore you can expect to see artists who you may have seen before and a whole selection of artists you may not know yet. Our artists often go on to bigger stages and international events (Kezia Gill, Gasoline and Matches, Morganway, Two Ways Home, Nick Edwards, Alan Finlan to name a few) so Country on the Coast is a great place to see artists earlier in their careers.

The nature of the festival is to connect artists and fans so we have an artist merch table which all artists will go to to meet and greet and share their merch with the audience.

If artists have merch available then we provide a space for them to share it. All artists are responsible for the sale of their own merch and most take cash or card payments.

If you know someone who would like to apply to perform then direct them towards the artist page from the Information section or head to our socials for the application details.

Not very easily lol! Each year we have over 100 applications from around the world and we select artists who compliment each other and allow us to provide a varied and high quality line up whilst still providing opportunities for up and coming artists and those who want to experience playing to UK audiences.
