Pendleton Whisky Fest Is Bringing the Party in 2026 — See the Full Lineup
The Pendleton Whisky Music Fest is returning to Eastern Oregon for a milestone celebration in 2026, marking 10 years of live music, unforgettable performances, and the signature Party in Pendleton experience.
Now we can break the news on the complete lineup for this summer in Pendleton, and it's an awesome lineup:
This year’s anniversary lineup is led by country star Zach Top, fresh off winning CMA New Artist of the Year and earning three GRAMMY nominations at the 68th Annual GRAMMY Awards.
He’ll be joined by an awesome group of artists, including eight-time GRAMMY nominee Shaboozey, known for blending country, hip-hop, and pop influences, along with GRAMMY winner and Grand Ole Opry member Carly Pearce.
Legendary country group Diamond Rio and modern western favorite Chancey Williams will round out the powerhouse lineup.
I can't believe this line-up, it's so good in 2026.
