Rooster Walk Music and Arts Festival has announced the artist lineup for the 16th annual rendition on May 21-24, 2026, of one of my favorite festivals!

Returning to bucolic Pop’s Farm just outside Martinsville, Virginia, festival organizers have expanded the previously announced lineup to more than 45 performers, including headliner St. Paul & The Broken Bones.

Other new arrivals among the many jam scene favorites scheduled to perform across Roaster Walk’s six stages include Kitchen Dwellers. Keller Williams, Maggie Rose, Dumpstaphunk, Shadowgrass, Clay Street Unit and Dizgo. This intergenerational group of artists will join the performers confirmed with the festival’s initial lineup announcement in October, including Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, Mountain Grass Unit, Eggy, John Brown’s Body, Yarn, Holy Roller Music, Caitlin Krisko and the Broadcast, Tan & Sober Gentlemen and Isaac Hadden.

In keeping with its founding mission, proceeds from the 2026 Rooster Walk will go to a range of regional and local charities, including the Penn-Shank Memorial Scholarship Fund – a college scholarship fund that spurred the festival’s inaugural presentation and remains at its heart. Rooster Walk has raised more than $378,000 for its charitable partners since its founding.
