Today, the Cavendish Beach Music Festival, presented by Bell, is excited to announce record-setting, 4X AMA-winner Kane Brown will return as the second headliner for the 2023 festival.
Brown will kick off the festival, headlining the Bell Stage on Thursday, July 6th. He joins previously announced Chris Stapleton, who will take the stage on Saturday, July 8th. Additional performers will be announced leading up to the festival.
“On the heels of Kane Brown’s latest album release on Friday, we couldn’t wait to share the exciting news that he will be joining us in Cavendish next summer,” said Ben Murphy, CEO of Cavendish Beach Music Festival.

Since the arrival of his self-titled, No. 1 Top Country Album in 2016, Kane Brown has ascended from social media notability to become one of country music’s most accomplished mainstays. The 4X AMA winner is the only artist in history to notch two titles in the genre’s Top 5 most-streamed songs of all time. “Heaven” and “What Ifs” featuring Lauren Alaina, the record-setting tracks from Kane Brown, are also certified 5X Platinum, making Kane one of only five country artists to achieve that certification twice (along with Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Sam Hunt, and Taylor Swift). The ACM, People’s Choice, iHeartRadio, CMT, and Billboard Music Awards-nominated singer has had cross-genre collaborating success with “Last Time I Say Sorry,” a duet with John Legend; the two share vocals on the song, which they co-wrote. Of the ballad, The New York Times commented, “Kane Brown softens the edges of his rich voice…with John Legend.”
In April 2020, Kane dropped “Cool Again,” which closed out that month as the most-added single at country radio and which Billboard called a “song of the summer.” Most recently, Kane dropped “Be Like That,” a breezy pop crossover with Khalid and Grammy-nominated vocalist Swae Lee. The three new tracks offer another glimpse into the global entertainer’s singularly progressive sound and style, which Rolling Stone recently praised as a balance of “pop-leaning radio country, Randy Travis-inspired Nineties stylings, and pop-dominant R&B,” as he continues to shape the next generation of country music.
