Ticket prices for FloydFest ’26 on July 22-26 go up July 1

FloydFest organizers have released the final lineup of acts to be included in the 2026 edition of the festival, FloydFest~Daydream, which is set to take place at FestivalPark on July 22-26.

The inaugural announcement regarding FloydFest~Daydream on Nov. 6 introduced a quartet of 2026 headliners: Grammy Award-winning rock-and-soul juggernaut Tedeschi Trucks Band, rock-and-roll cultural legends My Morning Jacket, songcraft-alchemist Stephen Wilson Jr. and Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Lukas Nelson.

Organizers said these headlining acts “serve as a powerful representation of both Across-the-Way’s brand of purposeful programming, as well as the company’s dedication to delivering artists who top its patrons’ annual request lists.”

The strengths of those headliners are buttressed by additional artists in 2026’s initial announcement: 

  • Larkin Poe
  • The Word (Ft. Robert Randolph, John Medeski, and North Mississippi Allstars)
  • Andy Frasco and The U.N., Amble
  • AJ Lee and Blue Summit
  • The Creekers
  • Penelope Road 
  • Caitlin Krisko and The Broadcast
  • Jason Scott and The High Heat
  • Lespecial
  • MT Jones 
  • Cruz Contreras and The Black Lillies
  • Coyote Island
  • Johnny Mullenax
  • Isaac Hadden
  • Music Road Co.

All artists on the initial announcement (and all subsequent announcements) can be discovered and explored via extensive bios, links and music at www.floydfest.com/lineup.

Additional information — including a 2026 Site Map, updated FAQs, Children’s Universe information, a playlist featuring FloydFest~Daydream artists, more information about camping and parking, and more as announcements roll out — is available online at www.floydfest.com
