Boots in the Park Albuquerque’s 2027 lineup features George Strait, Jason Aldean, Brooks & Dunn and more

Look. We know Albuquerque isn’t Denver. But it is a roughly six-hour drive down I-25, you don’t need a plane ticket and when the lineup is this stacked, you pack the truck and you go. Boots in the Park just announced its 2027 lineup for Albuquerque and it’s George Strait, Jason Aldean, Brooks & Dunn, Zach Top and Jon Pardi, with more artists still to be announced. The three-day country festival runs May 14–16 at Balloon Fiesta Park, and this initial lineup alone is one of the strongest festival bills we’ve seen in a long time.

Let’s start with the obvious: George Strait. The King of Country Music doesn’t do a ton of festival dates, so any chance to see him live is an event in itself. Add in any of the others and you’ve got headliners that most festivals would kill for individually, let alone on the same bill.

Presale registration is open now at bootsinthepark.com, with the presale kicking off Thursday, Sept. 10, at 10 a.m. MT and the general on sale following on Friday, Sept. 11, at 10 a.m. MT. Ticket tiers range from general admission to VIP Weekend to Kings Club, and hotel-plus-ticket packages are already available if you want to lock in lodging and save.

From Denver, Albuquerque is a straight shot south on I-25, just six hours of open road through some of the most beautiful high desert in the West, but there are also plenty of quick flight options from DIA. Start planning now. This one’s going to sell.
