Pickathon 2026 is back at Pendarvis Farm in Happy Valley, Oregon, July 30 through August 2. Now in its 26th year, this beloved Portland-area festival brings together legends and rising stars across four magical days in the woods. This year’s lineup celebrates the pioneers who built the genres we love. Steve Earle, Marcos Valle, Built to Spill, Shakey Graves, Quasi, Acid King, Clinton Fearon, and Meridian Brothers headline a bill that spans alt-country, bossa nova, indie rock, reggae, doom metal, and psychedelic cumbia. Shakey Graves returns to Pendarvis as a true festival favorite, and Portland’s own Quasi feels like a homecoming.
But discovery is always the heart of Pickathon. The 2026 lineup is packed with artists on the rise, including soul-revival powerhouses Thee Sinseers and The Altons, jazz visionary Mary Halvorson, indie favorites Widowspeak, hip-hop legend Lyrics Born, and dozens more spanning bluegrass, psych-rock, folk, country, and beyond.
The music is only part of the experience. Pickathon is a one-of-a-kind temporary city built in the woods, with handcrafted forest stages, zero waste operations, and every artist playing at least two unique sets. Explore the new Mountains of Sound pavilion, enjoy the intimate farm-to-table Curation dining series, bring the kids to Captain Coyote’s Frog Bog, and wander between performances, art installations, wellness offerings, comedy, and literary readings.This is what a music festival can be when it’s built with intention.
