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.
