With this year basically over, we’re already looking forward to all the festivals in 2026. And no, we’re not only talking about Coachella, Governor’s Ball, or Lollapalooza. We’re talking about all the festivals in the U.S. and beyond that feature Latine artists. What can we say? We need to make the most out of our PTO and coins in this economy.
Though festivals continuously roll out throughout the year, we already know some of the most anticipated lineups, like West Coast’s Coachella. For the 2026 installment, the organization decided to drop the lineup sooner than anticipated, giving us Karol G as the first Latina headliner. Though we don’t know who NYC’s Governor’s Ball or Chicago’s Lollapalooza will feature yet, last year they welcomed Latine artists like Feid, Young Miko, and CA7RIEL y Paco Amoroso. This year, could we expect Cardi B—who just dropped an album—as the go-to festival headliner? Or are festivals going to go a more expected route and feature Spanish star Rosalía as the Spanish-language artist on the bill?
While we’re curious to see what 2026 holds, we’re also looking forward to our favorite, more local festivals. We hope to hear back on the ambitious New York corrido festival Migo Festival, which got cancelled at the last minute due to the political climate in 2025. We also want other festivals, like Miami’s reggaeton festival Vibra Urbana, or Napa Valley’s música mexicana festival La Onda, to make a comeback. While we can’t predict our nation’s future, we hope we won’t see many artists canceling their festival and tour dates due to visa issues. On the other hand, maybe it’s finally time to take that Latin American or European trip to see your favorite Latine artist live this year.
As 2026 unfolds, we’ll keep you updated with all the festivals in the U.S. and beyond as they pop up so you can start putting your PTO requests in. With that being said, here are all the national and international festivals featuring Latine artists in 2026.
