The festival circuit is heating up and All Things Go 2026 just made a serious statement.

Hayley Williams, Lola Young, and Zara Larsson are among the major names leading this yearโ€™s lineup, as the event returns to the Merriweather Post Pavilion from September 25โ€“27. ย 

 

The 2026 edition features a stacked, genre-blending bill, with headliners including:

  • Hayley Williams
  • Zara Larsson
  • Lola Young
  • Mitski
  • Brandi Carlile

The festival will feature nearly 50 acts across three days, blending indie, pop, alternative, and rising global voices. ย 

  • Saturday leans pop-heavy with Hayley Williams and Zara Larsson leading the charge
  • Sunday sees Lola Young closing alongside Brandi Carlile
  • Friday kicks off with Mitski and Ethel Cain setting the tone

Itโ€™s a lineup designed for both mainstream appeal and niche discovery. ย 

All Things Go has quietly grown into one of the most culturally relevant festivals in the U.S., known for:

  • Carefully curated lineups
  • Strong Gen Z and alternative fanbase
  • Consistent sell-outs year after year ย 

This yearโ€™s edition pushes that even further, with expansions into New York and Toronto editions also underway. ย 

Festival lineups like this reflect where music is heading:

  • Genre lines are fading
  • Female-led lineups are dominating
  • Global pop and alternative acts are sharing stages

From Hayley Williamsโ€™ rock-rooted influence to Zara Larssonโ€™s global pop appeal and Lola Youngโ€™s rising star power, the billing feels like a snapshot of modern musicโ€™s diversity.

Three major names. One of the most curated festivals in the U.S. A lineup built for the next generation.

All Things Go 2026 isnโ€™t just another festival

Itโ€™s shaping up to be one of the defining live music moments of the year.
