The stacked line-up for Railbird Festival 2026 has been unveiled, with The Lumineers and Tyler Childers set to headline the much-loved Lexington, Kentucky extravaganza.

It'll be a welcome homecoming for Kentucky legend, Childers, while The Lumineers will also draw a packed-out crowd next June as they reel off their folk-leaning favourites.

They'll be joined on the impressive roster of performers by Caamp, Mt. Joy, Zach Top, Ella Langley, Stephen Wilson Jr., Sam Barber, Muscadine Bloodline, Margo Price and more.

Over the past five years, Railbird has cemented itself as a staple on the country calendar, with the festival hosting stars such as Chris Stapleton, Noah Kahan and Lainey Wilson.

As well as getting to witness some of country and folk music's biggest names, 2026 Railbird attendees will be able to soak up tunes from an array of future chart-toppers such as Carter Faith, Laci Kaye Booth, Willow Avalon and Kashus Culpepper.

For instance, indie-folk trailblazer Hazlett will be serenading fans with stand-outs from his stellar new album, last night you said you missed me, while fast-emerging troubadours The Creekers will be treating Lexington to their viral hit, ‘Tennessee’.

The 2026 instalment is shaping up to be another momentous occasion, with Railbird Festival returning to the Infield at Red Mile in Lexington across June 6th and 7th.

This is always a popular event, and tickets will fly off the shelves once again. But fear not, here's how you can make sure you're in prime position to secure your 2026 passes.

Tickets to Railbird Festival 2026 are on-sale from Wednesday, October 22nd at 12pm ET. In order to gain access to this first wave of tickets, you need to sign up via THIS LINK.
