Honky Tonk Fest Announces 2026 Lineup

The festival season isn’t over just yet, especially in the Texas Hill Country where fall and winter take their sweet time getting there. On November 14th, the 2nd Annual Honky Tonk Fest will be happening just outside of Austin at the Star Hill Ranch, which is a super cool spot in the world, reminiscent of an old town Main Street setting near the community of Bee Cave.

Just announced, the lineup for the 2026 fest will include rising Austin legends Rattlesnake Milk, the “Current Queen of Texas Country” (according to Saving Country Music) Summer Dean, Americana mainstays The Deslondes, the real deal Pat Reedy, Honky Tonkin’ in Queens, Hannah Juanita, Hayden Butler, Kristina Murray, the Sentimental Family Band, and Austin’s honky tonk sweetheart, Kathryn Legendre.

All these artists come highly recommended by Saving Country Music (you’ve probably seen them covered here many times), and the curation for this event is very cool.

Honky Tonk Fest will feature two stages, as well as two-step lessons and wood floors for dancing, handcrafted goods, and of course plenty of food options. Part of the experience is also Star Hill Ranch itself with it’s pictureque setting that includes a century-old house, a chapel, and other buildings. The venue is very reminiscent of Willie’s Nelson’s Luck, TX a few miles down the road.

VIP passes are also available, and children under 8 get in free with an adult. For more information and to purchase tickets, go to honky-tonk-fest-2026.
