Ella Langley, Old Dominion To Lead Alan Jackson’s Inaugural ‘5 O’Clock Somewhere Fest’

Alan Jackson will launch his first-ever “5 O’Clock Somewhere Fest” on June 12–13 in West Palm Beach, Florida. The country icon himself will not be performing, but the inaugural festival will feature a powerhouse lineup including Ella Langley, Old Dominion, Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band, and more.

The multi-day event will take place at The Palm Beaches Waterfront Commons and will include additional performances from Dylan Scott, Clint Black, Shenandoah, John Anderson, Rodney Atkins, a Jimmy Buffett tribute band, Allen Stone, and more. Comedian Dusty Slay and JD Spradlin of SiriusXM’s Radio Margaritaville are set to host.

The festival’s first-year location is intentional, as Jackson previously filmed the music video for “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” in the area and once called it home. The event also takes its name from the hit song, which has remained a fan favorite since its 2004 release.

Jackson played a role in the festival’s creation and creative direction. The event is expected to combine coastal ambiance, live music, and elevated fan experiences.

“After 15 years of working with Alan, I’ve seen how much the beach lifestyle and that ‘Five O’Clock Somewhere’ mindset mean to him,” said longtime Alan Jackson tour manager and Peachtree Entertainment CEO Nathan Baugh. “It’s not just a song — it’s how he lives. This festival is a natural extension of that.”

Jackson is set to wrap his touring career in 2026 while continuing to connect with fans through events like his newly launched festival.

“I’ve gotten to enjoy so many experiences at my concerts over the years,” Jackson said. “I’m not touring anymore, but I like the idea of still being able to give people an opportunity to have a ‘Good Time’ and enjoy some great country music while they do.”

The festival is expected to draw fans from across the country as it debuts this summer.

“Today’s travelers are increasingly planning trips around signature events, and Alan Jackson’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere Fest is a perfect example of how music and place can come together to create an unforgettable experience,” said Milton Segarra, CDME, president and CEO of Discover The Palm Beaches, the tourism marketing organization for Palm Beach County. “This festival captures the laid-back spirit and coastal warmth that define our destination. We invite attendees to stay longer, explore more, and embrace The Palm Beaches lifestyle embodied by this signature event.”

The festival will also offer VIP experiences, including food and beverage options, premium viewing areas, and additional amenities.

Tickets will be available through StubHub. Presale registration is now open at 5oclocksomewherefest.com, with tickets going on sale Friday, March 27.
