Idlewild Music Fest is Back! September 11–13, 2026

Get ready for another unforgettable weekend at Idlewild Music Fest, returning to Zebulon, North Carolina on September 11–13, 2026! Join us for three days of community, creativity, and celebration under the Carolina sky.

Experience a vibrant mix of live music, delicious food, local brews, camping, art installations, light shows, jams, and more. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time attendee, you’ll find something to love at Idlewild. We’ll have a variety of food trucks, beer vendors, artisan stalls, visual art displays, a silent auction, and plenty of space for camping. Bring your own supplies (food, drinks, camping gear) and settle in for a weekend of good vibes and great company.

Tickets are $150 for the full weekend and are available now! Our 2026 artist lineup will be announced soon—stay tuned for exciting updates. No matter who takes the stage, you can expect top-notch performances and an atmosphere filled with music and magic.
