Rock Fest, widely known as the largest three-day rock music and camping event in the United States, is set to return from July 16–18 with what organizers describe as one of the deepest and most diverse lineups in the festival’s history.
Once again taking over the hayfield in Cadott, Wisconsin, Rock Fest 2026 will feature a powerful blend of international headliners, long-standing crowd favorites, and 21 national acts making their festival debut.
According to festival promoter Wade Asher, this year’s lineup reflects the core identity the event has maintained for decades: “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”.
He added, “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”.
Ticket sales are now underway, offering both three-day and single-day general admission options, as well as individual artist pit passes. Several premium options have already sold out, including VIP packages, Reserved Lawn access, Black Hole Ammo Top Tier Lounge passes, three-day pit passes, Electric Camping, and The Dark Side Campground. The Heathens’ Hwy Campground is close to selling out, with only limited space still available.
