Pickin’ in the Pines has unveiled its 20th anniversary artist lineup. The bluegrass festival will continue its two-decade-long history from September 18-20, 2026, when the program returns to the Pepsi Amphitheater in Flagstaff, Ariz. Leading this year’s roster is The Infamous Stringdusters, who have signed on to deliver two sets of songs during the imminent musical revival. 

Beyond the top-billed act, Pickin’ in the Pines will welcome an onslaught of acts from the bluegrass and acoustic ether, such as longtime Tennessee outfit, known for its collective 28 IBMA sweep, Blue Highway. Also included on the 2026 roster are the Kitchen Dwellers, Mountain Grass Unit, fiddler Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, and Tony Trischka’s beloved Earl Jam, featuring Michael Daves. 

The artist lineup trails through the inclusion of Woody Platt & the Bluegrass Gentlemen, Wood Box Heroes, East Nash Grass, The Sentimental Gentlemen, Mason Via, and Dom Flemons & the Traveling Wildfires. The final patch of live participants features Red Camel Collective, John Reischman & the Jaybirds, Lonesome Ace Stringband, Chris Brashear & Peter McLaughlin, Nolan McKelvey Band, and Forest Thurman & Friends. 

Festival tickets and multi-day passes go on sale to the general public beginning on March 5, 2026, at 10 a.m. MST.
