A LINE-UP OF LEGENDS AND NEW BLOOD
This year’s festival isn’t just a trip down memory lane; it’s a celebration of rock’s enduring legacy. The Summer of ’99 and Beyond Festival 2026 line-up is a masterclass in curated chaos.
Saturday kicks off with a bang as nu-metal icons LIMP BIZKIT take the “Higher” Main Stage. In a moment fans thought they’d never see, Fred Durst and company are sharing the bill with former rivals in a show of pure rock solidarity. They’ll be joined by the legendary CYPRESS HILL, SEVENDUST, and the fierce energy of KITTIE.
Sunday slows things down only slightly before ramping up for a massive finish. Festival founders CREED will close out the weekend, fresh off a “Creedassaince” that has seen them reach a whole new generation of fans. With hits like Higher and With Arms Wide Open, the atmosphere is guaranteed to be electric. Joining them are post-grunge heavyweights Bush, MAMMOTH WVH, CANDLEBOX and HOOBASTANK.
