Country music fans in Miami will need to wait a little longer for their next waterfront two-step, as Country Bay Music Festival has confirmed it will not return in 2025. After two successful editions, the team behind the festival has announced that the next event will take place in 2026, promising a bigger, sunnier, and wilder experience than ever before.

First launched in 2023, Country Bay quickly established itself as a standout destination for country music lovers, blending the best of the genre with Miami’s iconic tropical vibes. The 2024 edition, held on November 9–10 at the Miami Marine Stadium, featured a stacked lineup including Zac Brown Band, Carrie Underwood, Dustin Lynch, Diplo (as Thomas Wesley), and many more.

In a vibrant announcement shared online, organizers reassured fans that while there won’t be a 2025 installment, plans are already underway for an epic return in 2026. They emphasized that the break is being used to elevate the experience even further, with a renewed focus on creating the ultimate waterfront celebration of country music.

Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for future updates. As the Country Bay team put it: “The Bay will be back. Miami, get ready.”
