So I suppose I could pretty much say that festival season 2026 is under wraps for the most part. There are still about ten good bangers left until January of 2027. I usually change all of the dates before I promote my master list on a major scale, however now I do update it monthly. Right around July, I begin my transition into 2027 festivals that happen in spring. Many of them just turn around and announce the new dates right after the gates close and trash is removed.
One of those festivals that happen in spring that I heavily support is called WinterWonderGrass, and there are also three offshoots of this brand. The one they are featured on is in Steamboat Springs where the might Steamboat MusicFest is from. This is one hell of a terrific lineup already and it is not even over with yet, I JUST SAW Ben Chapman at North Springs Music Festival last weekend and it was FIRE.
Joshua, the other admin on here loves that band called Magoo and I am not really too familiar with them but we both did see the Kitchen Dwellers in Florida at Suwaunee Music Festival in 2025. This festival is already loaded with bands that this website heavily supports.
Where the spirit of the Old West meets the magic of live music, WinterWonderGrass brings Steamboat Springs’ rich ranching heritage and legendary mountain culture to life. From world-class music on the mountain to late-night shows around town, soaking in the world-famous hot springs, and exploring a robust kids’ zone and the Coletrain Music Academy, the experience extends far beyond the festival grounds. We’ve celebrated beneath bluebird skies and in full-on blizzards, but the magic remains the same: incredible music, breathtaking mountains, and a community that feels like family. Come for the music, stay for the magi
 The String Cheese Incident is coming to WinterWonderGrass for the first time ever – and back to Steamboat for the first time in 25 years. After three decades of breaking new ground, building community, and doing things their own way, one of the most influential bands in the jamgrass world is finally making their WinterWonderGrass debut. Twenty-five years later, their Steamboat story continues at WinterWonderGrass: A Decade in the ‘Boat. |
