A complete guide. If you thought that there were more country festivals now more than ever, you would be correct. With new festivals seemingly popping up each and every week, you’d be hard-pressed not to find one near you at some point throughout the year. Of course, you have your mainstay events every year, such as Stagecoach, Two Step Inn and the nationwide Country Thunder series, all of which are returning in 2026 along with some killer lineups. With that being said, there are a plethora of other festivals slated throughout the year that are undoubtedly worth your time and attention. With more and more festivals under the wide country, folk and Americana umbrella popping up seemingly by the week, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to not only keep track of just which is which but also to weed out which festival is worth the cost of admission and traveling expenses. It should go without saying that everything is more expensive nowadays, especially when talking about concert and festival prices. And if you’re looking to schedule your spring and summer music schedule while simultaneously trying to find which events best fit your music taste, look no further than this list of over 25 of the biggest country music festivals slated for 2026, complete with dates, locations, headliners and notable supporting acts.
