FestivalPickathon 2026

After 26 years of elevating emerging artists like Geese, Billy Strings and Leon Bridges, the Portland-area festival returns with a lineup that balances discovery with icons including Steve Earle, Shakey Graves and Marcos Valle.

Pickathon returns to Pendarvis Farm July 30–August 2, 2026, continuing its tradition as the country’s most distinct music festival experience. Your new favorite band is playing. You just haven't met them yet.

Pickathon has hand-picked icons like Khruangbin, Big Thief, and Billy Strings long before they became household names. We find the artists you’ll follow for life.

But a ticket is more than a concert—it’s entry into a world that will never exist again. For five days, Pendarvis Farm becomes a "musical ride" through nature. It is a summer camp for the soul, built for discovery, not crowds.
