Getting down in Cowtown.
The 2026 music festival season is quickly approaching, which means that many festivals are closing out 2025 by sharing their lineups. It’s like a Christmas gift of sorts, knowing which festivals to ask for tickets for. And we’ve got another one you might want to ask Santa for that was just announced today, December 8.
The 2025 lineup was stacked, showcasing some stellar talent from Treaty Oak Revival, 49 Winchester, Braxton Keith, Shelby Stone, and more. For 2026, the nonprofit music festival and BBQ competition, returning for its milestone 5th anniversary on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at the iconic Fort Worth Stockyards, is bringing you a Texas-sized lineup. The festival is going full Lone Star State for its fifth anniversary, bringing you a lineup where all but two acts hail from Texas.
The 2026 lineup includes headlining performances from Whiskey Myers and Randy Rogers Band, along with supporting sets from Amanda Shires, Jason Scott and the High Heat, Ellis Bullard, The Broken Spokes, and Weldon Henson.
“For our 5th anniversary, we wanted a lineup that felt both elevated and unmistakably Texas. From Whiskey Myers and Randy Rogers Band to Amanda Shires and our all-Texas lineup during BBQ Time, this is the biggest music lineup year we’ve ever produced – one that should make the perfect soundtrack for a memorable day in the Stockyards.”
Shared Andy Eldridge, Smokedown Festival Director, Fort Worth resident, and longtime member of the Fort Worth Stock Show Syndicate.
The Public ticket on-sale begins Friday, December 12, at 10:00 a.m. CT at SyndicateSmokedown.com, featuring multiple ticket levels. Given that the Syndicate Smokdown features a BBQ Competition open to both professional pitmasters and amateur backyard teams, there are different ticket options for BBQ enthusiasts, music lovers, and fans of both.
While the lineup and BBQ are a huge reason you should make your way down to the historic Stockyards for this festival, you can also have peace of mind that this is for a good cause, as the nonprofit festival raises funds to support 4-H and FFA youth across Texas.
“Syndicate Smokedown is built for fans – whether you want to soak up the smoke, get front row for the headliner, or make this Saturday experience part of a full weekend adventure in the historic Stockyards. But no matter which pass you buy, every single ticket purchase directly helps a Texas kid and supports this great state’s agriculture industry.”
Added Eldridge.
This is not a festival you’ll want to miss. Fire up some Whiskey Myers and Randy Rogers Band while you’re here:
