Wilco’s beloved Solid Sound Festival is returning in the summer of 2026, and the official lineup has finally arrived. The three-day festival will take place on June 26-28 at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams, marking its ninth year. Along with a star-studded cast of musicians, Solid Sound also features comedy acts, museum tours, and film screenings with intimate Q&As.
This year is as big as it has ever been. Along with a headlining performance from Wilco themselves, the band will also perform a rare set with Billy Bragg, as they journey through the songs of their collaborative Mermaid Avenue series. Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy will also host a solo set, and guitarist Nels Cline will also perform with his Consentrik Quartet. Wilco’s John Stirratt and Pat Sansone will also perform a set as Autumn Defense.
Outside of the hosting band, acts like Gang of Four, The Breeders, L’Rain, S.G. Goodman, Hanah Cohen, and The Messthetics & James Brandon Lewis will take the Solid Sound stage. The lineup also includes John Hodgman’s Comedy Cabaret and a screening of the new short film with Bob James in conversation with Mikael Jorgensen.
With the location cemented and a stunning lineup announced, the stage is set for Solid Sound 2026. You can check out the full lineup below, and purchase tickets for the festival here.
