* The dates for Hinterland Music Festival 2026 are yet to be confirmed - July 31 - August 2 are speculative dates.

Up until the last few years, Hinterland Music Festival has remained in relative obscurity. One of Iowa's premiere festival events, it's drawn a sizable crowd year over year, yet remained more of a local treasure than an anticipated annual outing.

However, that all changed in 2023 as country megastar Zach Bryan descended onto the small town of Saint Charles, effectively putting the city and Hinterland Music Festival on the map.

Now becoming one of the best hidden gems in the festival universe, Hinterland is expected to return once again come August 2026.

Here, we'll have all the up-to-date news on line-up announcements, the latest ticket and festival pass details, and any further exciting info and details for 2026.

The full lineup and day splits for Hinterland Music Festival 2026 will be announced in the coming months.

Stay tuned for full ticketing and pass information for the 2026 edition of Hinterland Music Festival to be announced in the coming months.

For the event's highly-anticipated tenth anniversary in 2025, the beloved, music-filled weekend welcomed some of the biggest names from country, Americana and beyond, including tantalizing headlining sets from Kacey Musgraves, Lana Del Rey and Tyler, the Creator.

Elsewhere throughout the weekend, attendees were treated to appearances from The Marias, Clairo, Bleachers, Sierra Ferrell, Role Model, Wyatt Flores, Gigi Perez, Willow Avalon and more.

First launched in 2015 by Des Moines-baed concert promoter Sam Summers, Hinterland Music Festival offers a weekend of one-of-a-kind live music, camping, craft vendors and more.

Drawing upwards of 15,000 people each year, Hinterland has seen a wide range of superstars take the stage, including Brandi Carilie and Old Crow Medicine Show – who headlined the inaugural year – as well as Zach Bryan, Bon Iver, Maggie Rogers, Willie Nelson, Sturgill Simpson, Kacey Musgraves, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Tyler Childers, The Avett Brothers, Billy Strings, Phoebe Bridgers and a long list of others.
