More than 25 new artists added for 2026!

The Long Road returns to the beautiful grounds of Stanford Hall from 27–30 August 2026 – and more than 25 new artists have just been added to the lineup.

Leading the latest announcement is 14-time GRAMMY winner Emmylou Harris, bringing her European Farewell Tour to the festival, alongside Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member Steve Earle for a special solo acoustic performance.

They’re joined by Canadian chart-topper Josh Ross, Florida favourites The 502s, songwriting legend Jim Lauderdale, plus Shakey Graves, The Felice Brothers, Uncle Lucius and many more – joining previously announced Saturday headliner Bailey Zimmerman.

The 2026 lineup also champions UK talent including Kezia Gill and 2025 Homegrown Talent winner Liam Price, with the Homegrown Talent Contest set to return next year.

With over six immersive stages, authentic US BBQ from Red Dog Saloon, and four days of country, Americana and roots, The Long Road 2026 is shaping up to be its biggest celebration yet.
