Who Is Randy, The Viral Star Who Left Luke Bryan Stunned & Became A Legend During Carolina Country Music Fest?
And just like that, a new legend was born.
The stars were out in full force at Carolina Country Music Fest in beautiful Myrtle Beach, South Carolina this past weekend, which featured performances from Riley Green, Tracy Lawrence, Justin Moore, Post Malone, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, Lauren Alaina, and many, many more.
But the biggest star of the weekend might have been Randy.
Who’s Randy? Well settle in – and prepare your liver – to meet a new Carolina Country Music Fest legend.
It all started on Friday night, when headliner Luke Bryan broke out a bottle of Casamigos tequila and took a quick swig himself before passing it down to a fan in the crowd to pass around.
The fan, as it turns out, was Randy Lookabill, who decided to tip up the bottle of tequila and polish off the whole thing, much to the astonishment of the crowd and of Luke Bryan himself.
Luke stopped his show in amazement and spoke to Randy:
“Hold f— up. Hold the s— up. I need a disclaimer. I need to sign an NDA. …
Do you typically drink a whole bottle of tequila? Are you gonna be ok?”
Well Luke signed the tequila bottle for Randy and passed it back down to him and his wife, Ashley. And shortly after, there was a medical emergency in the crowd – but as it turns out, it wasn’t Randy, but was a woman behind him, with Luke reassuring the crowd that Randy was alright:
“Randy drank so much the woman behind him passed out.”
Videos of the wild scene quickly went viral, and Randy became an overnight sensation at CCMF. But the next day, everybody was asking: Has anybody checked on Randy?
Well as it turns out, Randy was just fine: Contrary to the rumors, he didn’t have to have his stomach pumped, he wasn’t taken out in a wheelchair, and he was now a celebrity in Myrtle Beach. And after some rest and fluids, he was right back at the festival the next day.
Hundreds of fans spotted Randy in the crowd and stopped him to get their picture taken, and Native Sons even got shirts printed overnight and had them at the merch tent the next day:
Whiskey Riff actually caught up with Randy backstage at Carolina Country Music Fest, and he assured us he was fine the next morning and just had a little headache:
“Still feeling good.”
Well that evening, Locash welcomed the new CCMF legend onstage as the crowd chanted his name.

And they weren’t the only artist who got to meet the legendary Randy: On night 3, Dasha also brought him out on stage, where they two did a shoey out of her boot.

Then on night 4, Randy was back on the front row for Post Malone as he had been for the rest of the festival. And when Posty started handing out beers to the crowd, who did he toss one to? Well, Randy of course.

Randy has been attending Carolina Country Music Fest for years now, and often lines up the night before to secure his spot at the front of the pit. He’s also a super nice guy, and though I’m sure he didn’t expect to leave the festival as an overnight celebrity, I have a feeling he’s going to be getting recognized around Myrtle Beach and CCMF for years to come.
And just like that, a legend was born at Carolina Country Music Fest.
