Ceremony Festival just announced their 2026 curation lineup and we are screaming internally. The festival will be held at Cannery Hall in Nashville, TN on October 17 with bands such as; Ocean Sleeper, Royale Lynn, Belmont, Bloom, and so much more! The festival is one of the fast-growing alternative music fests in the Southeast and this year will mark the largest expansion of the fest!
Taking place across four stages throughout Cannery Hall and its newly expanded outdoor footprint, Ceremony Festival 2026 will feature a diverse mix of national touring artists, breakout newcomers, and local talent spanning alternative, rock, emo, indie, pop-punk, metalcore, and genre-bending modern heavy music.
This year marks the festival’s largest expansion to date with the addition of a fourth stage — a brand-new outdoor main stage experience located in Cannery Hall’s parking lot.
Beyond the music, Ceremony 2026 will feature an expanded outdoor festival footprint including vendor pop-ups curated by the Nashville Punk Rock Flea Market, local food truck vendors, live art installations and painting from Visual Minds, and an on-site tattoo pop-up experience hosted by Kind Tattoo Parlor.
A limited discounted earlybird presale is available now exclusively to subscribers of the festival’s text and email list. General on-sale is set for Friday, June 5.
