Julia Louis-Dreyfest XII - 2026 Line-Up Announcement

 

More beautiful and more downtown than ever, Julia Louis-Dreyfest is returning for its 12th homecoming from August 6th to the 9th! Bands from across the country? Check. Your favorite local act? Check. Contests, poetry, and kickball? You better believe it!

We’ll have all of the familiar fixtures this year at stalwart spots like Thirsty Street Brewing, Craft Local, Kirk’s Grocery, and NOVA Center for the Performing Arts. In addition we’ll also be having a Friday afternoon show at Cameron Records, our annual poetry jam at FRAE, and even the new addition of an after-party with music at Confetti Heart Studio Friday night! Whether you’re moshing in the AM or catching a calm vibe at a record shop, this year’s Dreyfest will be bigger and better than ever! 

Additional shoutout to our many sponsors who have helped support this year’s festivities and for providing quality culture to Montana and beyond! Feel free to check out any of their locations before, during, or after the fest so that you’re supplied with what you need be it a guitar strap, a drink, or psychedelic paraphernalia.

Ticket sales start today, so grab an early bird ticket, save some money, and prepare your nervous system for the best weekend in beautiful downtown Billings, Montana!
