Hayloft Music Festival Announces 2026 Lineup and Expands to Two Nights of Music
LISTOWEL, ON — Hayloft Music Festival will return to Listowel this August long weekend with an expanded two-night event featuring some of Canada and North America’s most recognized country and rock artists.
The 2026 festival will take place August 1–2 at the Steve Kerr Memorial Complex in Listowel, bringing thousands of music fans back to the community for a weekend of live music, food, and summer celebration.
This year’s festival will feature two distinct nights of music.
Saturday, August 1 — Country Night will be headlined by Kip Moore, joined by rising country star Kameron Marlowe, along with Janna Leduc, Max Smith, Jessie T, Chris Clark, and Taylor Moore.
Sunday, August 2 — Rock Night will feature Canadian rock icons Big Wreck, Kim Mitchell, and David Wilcox, along with Small Town Strip Club, Conor Gains Band, and Turning Corners.
Festival organizer Ralph Spoltore says the goal is to build on the success and energy of last year’s event.
“Last year the response from the community and the fans was incredible. The atmosphere in the field was something special, and we knew we wanted to grow the event while keeping that same energy. Expanding to two nights allows us to bring even more great music to Listowel while creating a full August long weekend experience.”
Tickets for Hayloft 2026 are now on sale with Early Bird tickets starting at $64.99 for the first 1,000 fans, along with a limited number of VIP tickets offering premium viewing, dedicated bar access, and an upgraded festival experience.
Hayloft Music Festival was recently recognized as one of the Top 100 Festivals and Events in Ontario by Festivals & Events Ontario for 2026, highlighting the event’s growing impact on tourism and the local community.
Organizers expect visitors from across Ontario to travel to Listowel for the weekend, bringing a significant boost to local businesses, restaurants, and accommodations.
