We are only days away from the Northlands Music & Arts Festival, the Northeast’s premier festival, and the outlook for the weekend is looking brighter and brighter. The event takes place June 19–21, 2026, in Swanzey, New Hampshire.
Camping under the stars with cool nights and days in the mid-70s? That’s only the backdrop, my friend. The true stars of the weekend will be on the Mountain Stage and Echo Stage, conveniently located side by side so you won’t miss a note of music. The lineup includes two sets each from Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, The Disco Biscuits and Dirty Heads, as well as sets by Dogs in a Pile, Little Stranger, Andy Frasco & The U.N., Lotus, Yonder Mountain String Band, The Slip, Mihali and more. Shall I go on? Why not?
The Campground Stage will offer plenty of rising bands and DJ sets to keep the party rolling. At Northlands, you can create the vibe you want. It’s all there for you.
Go beyond the music. Massage, Reiki, yoga and meditation are all just a few steps away from your campground. Crash out early. Rage until dawn. It’s all there for you.
An eclectic selection of food and drink vendors will round out the weekend. Visit northlandslive.com for more information.
What are you waiting for? See you in Swanzey.
