Weekend at Bertha’s XXVI returns July 24-26, 2026, bringing three days of music, campout community, counterculture, and psychedelic celebration to Firebase Lloyd in Townsend, Delaware.
Presented by the Diamond State Merry Pranksters, the 2026 edition is headlined by Acid Mothers Temple, who will travel from Japan for a rare and exclusive performance. Known for their deep psychedelic explorations and mind-bending live sets, Acid Mothers Temple top a wide-ranging lineup built for fans of improvisational rock, Dead-inspired jams, underground psychedelia, and festival community.
The lineup also includes Ominous Seapods, One-Eyed Jack, Juggling Suns, Gypsy Funk Squad, Solar Circuit, Mums The Word, Urban Shaman Attack, Reality Check Experiment, Sabbath Superstars, Spirit Wing, Xtra Alltra, Frogs In Milk, UAP, Kilynn Lunsford, Full Carbon Get Up, Fer Sure, Ritter Lane, Bonnie Kane’s Space Anomaly, Emergency Tuna, Communique, Old Bear & Friends, Muddiman, Psychedelic Elders, Wonderbred, Mountain Don’t, Second Hand Space, Noah Munro Lehrman, Wabbit Workshops, and Crazy Eyes Liquid Light.
Weekend at Bertha’s has grown into one of Delaware’s true grassroots gatherings, blending live music, camping, art, lights, vending, workshops, and the loose, communal spirit that keeps the Prankster tradition alive. The festival’s 2026 edition continues that mission with a lineup that stretches from heavy psychedelic rock to jam-heavy Americana, funk, experimental sounds, and Grateful Dead-inspired celebration.
