Wilco’s beloved Solid Sound Festival takes place June 26-28th at MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA and has now announced its 2026 musical lineup.

This year’s musical lineup features The Breeders, Gang of Four, Billy Bragg, S.G. Goodman, L’Rain, Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band, Sharp Pins, The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis, Hannah Cohen, and much more. As in festivals past, it would not be Solid Sound if it didn’t feature multiple headline sets from Wilco alongside band members’ various independent and solo projects. And as previously announced, this year’s Friday set from Wilco will be a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, with Billy Bragg joining the band to perform the songs of Mermaid Avenue.

Additionally, Solid Sound continues to offer some of the most unique non-musical programming at any festival, like John Hodgman’s Comedy Cabaret (which will include comedians Jo Firestone, Demi Adejuyigbe, and Jordan Klepper), poster silk screening demos with Ghost-Town, a screening of a new film about Bob James from Mikael Jorgensen and accompanying Q&A, yoga, nature hikes, and more to be announced.

From rock, jazz, indie, and experimental artists to screenprinting demos, pop-up record stores, children’s programming and more, Solid Sound aims to delight the curious in the exceptional setting of MASS MoCA, a globally renowned, contemporary art museum and fabrication center. On view during the festival, in MASS MoCA’s expansive galleries will be exhibitions by Jeffrey Gibson, Jimena Sarno, Zora J Murff, and its newest, expansive group show Technologies of Relation and more, alongside beloved long-term works from Laurie Anderson, Louise Bourgeois, James Turrell, and Sol LeWitt.

Rose Stone and the 1st Family of Funk has announced a rare live show in 2026 at the Des Plaines Theater in Des Plaines, IL. Just outside of Chicago in the suburbs this will be a must see show for fans old and new.

The show will take place on Friday, April 10, 2026. This performance marks a dynamic continuation of one of music’s most important legacies and celebrates an era that forever transformed the sound and spirit of American culture.

Rose Stone, a founding and definitive member of Sly and the Family Stone, returns to the stage with a commanding voice, spiritual depth, and the same electrifying authenticity that made her an essential force in one of the most influential bands of all time. As the original female voice behind era-defining hits including “Everyday People,” “I Want to Take You Higher,” and “Family Affair,” Rose helped shape not only the sound of a generation but also the soul of the movement that came with it.

The 1st Family of Funk also features significant members of the Stone musical lineage. Vet Stone, the celebrated vocalist of Little Sister and an original member of Sly and the Family Stone, brings her powerful voice and magnetic presence to the stage. Lisa Stone, daughter of Rose Stone and acclaimed vocalist with international touring experience including performances with Elton John, completes the vocal powerhouse of the group.

Rose Stone is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. Her voice remains a beacon of truth, joy, resilience, and spiritual conviction. The 1st Family of Funk continues this tradition with a performance that is both a celebration and a living history.

3OH!3 has announced they’ll be celebrating their annual 303 day once again this time in beautiful Boulder Colorado.

The band shares: “Every year on 303 Day, we get to bring our love for our hometown full circle. In 2026, we’re returning to the heart of our grassroots upbringing—playing the Boulder Theater. We used to wait outside this venue just to get front row for our favorite touring acts. Now we get to be on that stage. But we still want to bring the party like the basements we used to rock on the Hill. We can’t wait to come home and do Boulder proud.”

Pop rockers Bad Suns will hit the road this spring for a headlining tour. This comes hot off the bands latest album ‘Accelerator’ and will see the band hit a 24 show run starting this March.
