2026 Lineup
Valerie June weaves deep and contemporary, idiosyncratic and fashionable, mystical and earthy sounds on Thursday night’s mainstage.
Friday night’s line-up includes Goldie Boutilier’s cinematic exploration of tragic romance, glamour and melancholia.
Rebel traditionalist Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives close Saturday night’s mainstage with rockabilly and surf-rock rave ups, swinging country classics and righteous gospel.
Be pretty in pink as you love your way Sunday night with post-punk/new wave icons The Psychedelic Furs.
Over the weekend, fall in love with Brazil’s powerful Afro-diasporic poet, composer and multi-instrumentalist Bia Ferreira. Pull your bell bottoms outta your closet and groove to The Free Label’s funky disco/R&B fusion. Witness the power of song as Mary Gauthier brilliantly documents our world. Become immersed in YAGODY’s theatrical, dramatically intense Ukrainian ancestral songs.
