TYLER CHILDERS TO HEADLINE 2026 RAILBIRD MUSIC FESTIVAL IN LEXINGTON, KY
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The 2026 Railbird Music Festival is proud to announce that Kentucky native Tyler Childers will headline the two-day event at The Infield at Red Mile on June 6–7, 2026.
Returning for his third performance at Railbird, Childers will close out the festival on Sunday, June 7, joined by rising stars Zach Top and Ella Langley. On Saturday, June 6, The Lumineers will headline an eclectic lineup of more than 30 acts across three stages, including Caamp, Mt. Joy, and more to be announced.
Known for his Grammy-nominated work and genre-defying sound, Childers rose to prominence with the 2017 album Purgatory. His 2023 hit single In Your Love earned three Grammy nominations and reached the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. He has since become a staple of major music festivals and iconic venues, from Bonnaroo to Rupp Arena, and continues to inspire fans with his deep storytelling and authentic Appalachian roots.
