Who will be joining Lainey Wilson at WE Fest 2026?

This has been the question for weeks now, since we all left Soo Pass Ranch back in early August. WE Fest 2025, of course, featured headliners Jon Pardi, Hardy, and Cody Johnson. WE Fest spilled the beans during the country music festival that Lainey Wilson will be one of their headliners in 2026, and now we know who will be joining her.

Next year's event will feature a mix of Grammy award-winning artists, emerging talents, and absolute country legends. 

In 2025, WE Fest attracted more than 30,000 fans each night at Soo Pass Ranch near Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. The stage count is now up to FOUR at WE Fest with the new Trading Post Stage, a new saloon, and a redeveloped upper grandstand deck.

Your 2026 WE Fest headliners are as follows:
