Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion has updated the artist lineup for its landmark 25-year celebration to include more than 50 acts. For its silver anniversary, the esteemed festival held in the twin cities of Bristol, Va., and Bristol, Tenn. will welcome some leading talents from the many distinct styles under the big tent of Americana for three days of music and culture from Sept. 11-13. This year’s lineup is led by Sierra Ferrell, Old Crow Medicine Show and St. Paul & The Broken Bones.
Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion annually remembers the 1920s Jimmie Rogers and Carter Family recordings known as the Bristol Sessions that earned Bristol’s recognition as the “Birthplace of Country Music,” and each staging since its inception has charted new growth on those deep roots in the 21st century. Beyond the biggest names, the festival’s 2026 lineup continues this tradition with groundbreaking performers from across generations like Los Lobos, The War and Treaty, Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives, The Del McCoury Band, Braxton Keith, Mon Rovîa, The Creekers, Maggie Antone and Trousdale. Other standouts down the bill include Fust, Clay Street Unit, Organ Fairchild, Hannah Dasher, Kruse Brothers, and Darrell Scott String Band. Rob Ickes, The Band Loula, Meels, Johnny Mullenax, Denitia, Caitlin Krisko & The Broadcast, Jon Stickley Trio, Larry Keel & Jon Stickley Duo. Jim Lauderdale & The Game Changers, Scythian, Donna the Buffalo and the Holy Rollers.
