Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion 2026 Daily Lineup Announced

Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion Announces 2026 Daily Lineup

Festival season is just around the corner, and the Birthplace of Country Music is preparing to welcome music fans from across the Tri-Cities region and beyond to Historic Downtown Bristol for Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion, September 11–13, 2026.

The Birthplace of Country Music and Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion are excited to offer the community a first look at the 2026 daily lineup, as anticipation builds for the festival’s 25th anniversary celebration.

Headlining Friday night will be St. Paul & The Broken Bones and Los Lobos, while GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter Sierra Ferrell will take the spotlight on Saturday evening. Old Crow Medicine Show is set to close out the festival Sunday night on State Street. September 13 will go down as the most music-filled Sunday in the festival’s history.

Alongside the release of the daily lineup, single-day tickets are now available at BristolRhythm.com. Single-day tickets offer the perfect option for fans who may not be able to attend the entire weekend but still want to experience a full day of live music and festival activities. Ticket prices are set to increase on June 30 as the festival approaches.

Shuttle passes are also now available online, helping festivalgoers enjoy a stress-free weekend in downtown Bristol.

New for the festival’s 25th anniversary, a limited number of VIP Experience tickets have been added to the lineup of elevated festival offerings. Both 3-Day VIP Experience and Single Day VIP Experience tickets are now available for purchase at BristolRhythm.com. VIP Experience tickets include access to VIP viewing areas at select stages, VIP meet-and-greet opportunities, the VIP Lounge at The Bristol Hotel, and more. Please note that parking passes and VIP brunches are not included with VIP Experience tickets.

Back by popular demand, and in celebration of the milestone anniversary, the Birthplace of Country Music has released every historical edition of the collectible Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion posters through the Museum Store. Fans can shop festival merchandise and collectible posters in person at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum Store or online at Shop.BirthplaceOfCountryMusic.org.

Produced by the nonprofit Birthplace of Country Music, Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion marks its 25th anniversary in 2026—a major milestone for the community-founded festival that began in 2001 and has since grown into one of the nation’s most beloved music events. Each year, the festival transforms downtown Bristol into a vibrant, multi-day celebration honoring the legacy of roots music while championing its future.

Fans can look forward to the full lineup reveal on May 27, along with additional merchandise releases throughout the summer. To stay up to date on festival announcements, follow @bristolrhythm on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X, and sign up for email updates at Birthplace of Country Music.
