The 2026 Innings Festival lineup is generating a lot of excitement. While the official, complete lineup for 2026 has not been announced yet, the festival has a strong track record, and we can make some very educated predictions based on its history and the artists you mentioned.
Here’s a breakdown of what we know, what to expect, and how the festival works.
The Official (Tentative) Headliners
Based on the initial announcement, the leaked or strongly rumored headliners for the 2026 editions are:
-
Blink-182
-
Twenty One Pilots
-
Sublime (with Jakob Nowell, the original singer Bradley Nowell’s son, now fronting the band)
These three acts would be the major draws, likely closing out the main stage each night.
What to Expect for the Full 2026 Lineup
The Innings Festival is known for blending alternative rock, pop-punk, indie, and classic rock with a baseball theme. The full lineup is typically announced in the fall of the preceding year (so expect the full 2026 list in October or November 2025).
Based on past lineups, you can expect the 2026 roster to include:
-
90s/2000s Rock and Pop-Punk Icons: Bands like Jimmy Eat World, Third Eye Blind, Incubus, Weezer, The Offspring, or Bleachers would fit perfectly alongside the announced headliners.
-
Modern Alternative & Indie Acts: Popular current bands like Mt. Joy, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, The Backseat Lovers, or Manchester Orchestra are common fixtures.
-
Legacy & Classic Rock Acts: Past lineups have featured artists like Eddie Vedder, Dave Matthews, and Trey Anastasio, so a respected legacy act is always a possibility.
-
Singer-Songwriters: Artists like Marcus Mumford, Noah Kahan (in past years), or Brandi Carlile-esque performers often appear.
