Old Settler’s Music Festival has unveiled the lineup for its 39th annual event, set to return April 17th–19th, 2026, to its previous home at Camp Ben McCulloch in Driftwood, TX, near Austin. Branded as “OSMF 2026: Back to Ben,” this year marks a reimagined chapter for the legacy roots festival—doubling down on community, family-friendly camping, and the intimate artist-fan connection that has defined the gathering since 1987.
The 2026 roster brings together a vibrant cross-section of Americana, bluegrass, folk, and roots innovators, headlined by Railroad Earth, The Brothers Comatose, Lindsay Lou, Shinyribs, and Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, alongside Shelby Means, Two Runner, Magoo, Warren Hood Quartet with Emily Gimble, Billy Bright Band, Foggy Memory Boys, Feeding Leroy, Brother Thunder, Louisiana Surf Department, and Ira Thorne Clifton (2025 Youth Talent Contest Winner).
Early Bird passes—including 3-Day General Admission, single-day tickets, Youth and Child passes, plus optional Early Entry and Parking upgrades—are on sale now. Get your tickets here.
As a volunteer-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Old Settler’s remains dedicated to preserving and sharing American roots music while fostering a welcoming, multigenerational festival atmosphere. The 2026 edition continues and elevates these traditions with shaded RV and tent camping beneath the Hill Country’s historic oaks. The late-night campfire jams, pickin’ circles, and artist-led workshops will be things you don’t want to miss. This festival is family-friendly with family activities and an inviting, community-centered layout with clean facilities, easy flow between stages, and access to Onion Creek.
