AmeriServ Flood City Music Festival will return to Peoples Natural Gas Park in Johnstown, PA on July 24th–25th, 2026 with a lineup topped by Greensky Bluegrass with Holly Bowling and The Disco Biscuits. Both headliners will play two sets each.
Marking its 32nd year with title sponsor AmeriServ Bank, the two-day festival will feature 20 artists on three stages, including Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Big Something, Karina Rykman, Super Sonic Shorties, Holly Bowling, Magoo, Jennifer Hartswick Band, Natalie Cressman, Sneezy, The Nth Power, Solar Circuit, and more. Each day will feature two artists at large, with Natalie Cressman serving both Friday and Saturday alongside Karina Rykman on Friday and Jennifer Hartswick on Saturday.

The weekend will kick off with a free “Night Zero” pre-festival concert on Thursday, July 23rd, featuring FlowerChild, Farmer Jason, and Neon Belly.
“After four consecutive years of record attendance, this lineup raises the bar again. We are competing for audiences with some of the biggest jam-oriented festivals on the East Coast,” said Bryan Hummel, festival co-chair. “This is an accomplishment, both for Heritage Johnstown as well as for the city in general. After a near sell-out in 2025, we anticipate reaching our full capacity for the first time in festival history in 2026.”
“One thing that really distinguishes the 2026 lineup is the number of women-fronted acts,” added festival co-chair Ron Carnevali. “Plus, we have two women artists at large on both Friday and Saturday, and Queen-Poetri Dozier returns as our visual artist at large.”
Two-day early bird passes are available now at just $99 for general admission and $150 for VIP. Additional options include camping packages offered in partnership with Coal Tubin’ for $70 per person for two nights or $100 for three nights (including night zero) and a two-day hotel package that includes two VIP passes and two festival t-shirts in an exclusive color for $715. Hard tickets will go on sale at the Heritage Discovery Center soon, and Heritage Johnstown members who purchase passes in person will be eligible to upgrade from general admission to VIP passes at no extra charge (limit four per family membership and two for individual or dual memberships). Find more information and secure your tickets on the festival website.
Proceeds from the festival will benefit Heritage Johnstown, which fosters and celebrates history, culture, and community in the region. The organization operates several local museums including the Johnstown Flood Museum, Frank & Sylvia Pasquerilla Heritage Discovery Center, and the Sidney & Rae Goldblatt Johnstown Children’s Museum, as well as Peoples Natural Gas Park and the Wagner-Ritter House & Garden in Cambria City.
