High Water Festival has announced its 2027 return to Riverfront Park in North Charleston, South Carolina, on April 17–18. Jack Johnson and Mt. Joy headline the ninth edition, revealed October 13.

The twenty-act bill also includes Death Cab for Cutie, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, the Revivalists, the Head and the Heart, Mat Kearney, Finn Wolfhard and Hazlett. Organizers are planning two stages with no overlapping sets, allowing attendees to move through the complete program without choosing between simultaneous performances.

The waterfront event also features local and regional food vendors in its Refuge area. Single-day and two-day passes went on sale October 15, including general admission and premium options. Festival dates and artist announcements are confirmed; the detailed performance timetable should be checked when organizers publish the final daily schedule.
