Grace Potter’s Grand Point North Music Festival to Feature Portugal. The Man, Dawes, Dark Star Orchestra and More
Grace Potter’s Grand Point North Music Festival will return September 18 through 20, 2026, to Waterfront Park in Burlington, Vt. This incarnation of the event features an exhilarating lineup of entertainers, including artists and acts who have signed on for specific days in dedication to the event’s music-fueled mission. The host has taken the top billing on Friday and Saturday’s lineup, trailed by Dark Star Orchestra’s Sunday sign-on.
According to the festival roster, entertainment will kick off on Friday, September 18, with artists such as Portugal. The Man, The Devil Makes Three, All The Rivers, Jesse Taylor Band, and Potter having received set times along the shoreline of gorgeous Lake Champlain. Saturday, September 19, will see similar top billing by way of Potter’s return. She leads a day two lineup that includes Daws, Trampled by Turtles, Maggie Rose, Frankie White, and Rose Asteroid.
The third and final day of the event, Sunday, September 20, will lean into the realm of extemporization by way of Dark Star Orchestra and Dogs in a Pile’s commitment to deliver independent sets of songs.
Grand Point North Music Festival doubles as a benefit, as noted on the official website. “Potter’s long-running festival has a storied history in art curation and cultivation on the waterfront in Burlington, Vermont. Potter’s desire to expand on that community effort is the root of Grand Point Foundation. GPF will support existing nonprofit and community organizations that are focused on arts education and cultural programming,” the page says.
General tickets go on sale Friday, May 15, at 10 AM ET. For full details, visit www.grandpointnorth.com.
