Rock Fest 2026 is set to return bigger than ever, bringing three days of heavy-hitting music and camping to the hayfields of Cadott, Wisconsin, from July 16 thru 18. Touted as one of the festival’s most stacked lineups yet, this year’s edition features global headliners, fan favorites, and 21 acts making their Rock Fest debut, promising a weekend of unmissable live performances.
“This lineup reflects what Rock Fest has always stood for — the artists who helped build this festival alongside bands that continue to carry rock forward,” said festival promoter Wade Asher.
“For more than three decades, Rock Fest has been a place where fans come together for loud music and long nights, to amplify their soul. Our MotherFest’n Family keeps this tradition alive year after year, and we’re proud to welcome them back to the hayfield.”
