Rock Fest 2026 is on track to be one of the biggest rock gatherings of the year, boasting a solid lineup of 80+ bands. Fans will be treated to a lineup filled with global headliners, intimate fan favorites, and 21 first-time acts across five stages over three days. As ticket sales continue to accelerate and the campgrounds are nearly at capacity, this year’s festival will be one to remember — a true celebration of rock at its very best.
According to a press release from the organizers of Rock Fest 2026, the event returns July 16–18 with one of its most stacked lineups to date, taking over the hayfield in Cadott.

Our MotherFest’n Family keeps this tradition alive year after year, and we’re proud to welcome them back to the hayfield.”
