It’s officially country music festival season! This list of the best country festivals of 2026 starts with an all-star, two-day fest in Arizona and ends with a celebration Carrie Underwood headlined last year.
Beach-lovers and mountain-lovers will find a festival worth their attention on this list. Parties built around beer, wine and BBQ are springing up in dozens of states nationwide, but country stars are also giving more love to Europe and Canada than ever before as well.
It’s the sheer number of new festivals that caught our attention however.

Country Music Festivals Scheduled for 2026
Several festivals have gone away in the last few years, while others (looking at you, Country Jam Colorado) are only on hiatus. Rock the Country and Lone Star Smokeout are two of the newer festivals and both have stacked lineups in 2026.

The Extra Innings Festival in Tempe, Ariz. is also very young, but this February you’ll find a great mix of contemporary stars and legends on site.
These parties and more are built around headliners, and that list certainly looks different every year. In 2026, you’ll find relative newcomers such as Zach Top, Gavin Adcock and Riley Green taking the main stage last. Koe Wetzel is another very popular festival headliner.
