Jonas Brothers Announced As Friday Night Headliners At Boots And Hearts Music Festival
Republic Live, producers of the internationally acclaimed and multi-award-winning Boots and Hearts Music Festival, announce today that global superstars Jonas Brothers will make their first-ever country music festival debut as Friday night headliners for the August 7–9 weekend in Ontario at Burl’s Creek Event Grounds.
The multi-Platinum, GRAMMY-nominated Jonas Brothers bring their high-energy pop-rock show to Burl’s Creek Event Grounds, marking a major cultural moment for Boots and Hearts as the festival celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. With multiple #1 albums, decades of chart-topping hits, and a stadium-selling fanbase, their addition signals a bold evolution of Canada’s largest country music and camping festival. Known for cross-genre collaborations, including with country artists, and a live show packed with nostalgic hits across generations, the Jonas Brothers help deliver three days of non-stop music and unforgettable moments.
The Jonas Brothers join a powerhouse weekend lineup including Saturday night headliners, The Chicks (August 8), the GRAMMY and CMA Award-winning icons whose influence spans generations, and Sunday night headliners Rascal Flatts (August 9), the ACM Award-winning country hitmakers behind some of the genre’s most enduring anthems.
The 2026 lineup also features a dynamic mix of chart-topping stars and breakout artists shaping today’s country and crossover sound, including Russell Dickerson, Tucker Wetmore, Jessie Murph, Sam Barber, Dasha, Max McNown, Waylon Wyatt, The Jack Wharff Band, Kaitlin Butts, Ashley Cooke, and Emily Anne Roberts.
While the Jonas Brothers’ appearance marks a milestone moment, their presence also reflects country music’s evolving landscape. The band recently collaborated with Russell Dickerson, and their past associations with fellow Boots and Hearts artists, Rascal Flatts and Ashley Cooke, have further connected their sound to the modern country ecosystem.
Staying true to its roots, Boots and Hearts will continue to spotlight Canadian hit makers throughout the weekend, with Brett Kissel, James Barker Band, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, and the best in new Canadian talent like Thelma & James, Savannah Jade, Tony Stevens, Mitch Zorn, and School House.
“Country music continues to grow by reaching new audiences, and many of the artists on this lineup helped lead that growth by creating music that connects across generations and genres. The Jonas Brothers have embraced cross-genre collaboration in the country space, while artists like The Chicks and Rascal Flatts helped open the door for the genre’s mainstream and crossover success,” shares Brooke Dunford, Director of Talent Buying & Business Development for Republic Live. “Bringing them together reflects how fans are consuming music today and we’re proud to follow that creative momentum at Boots and Hearts .”
With the addition of the Jonas Brothers, Boots and Hearts delivers a rare weekend bringing together multiple arena and stadium-level live acts on one festival bill – reinforcing its reputation as a must-attend destination for unforgettable, large-scale performances.

All Things Go NY has revealed the set times for its 2026 edition at Forest Hills Stadium, with three days of performances led by Zara Larsson, Brandi Carlile, Ethel Cain, MUNA, Lola Young and Carly Rae Jepsen.
The New York edition runs September 25–27, with each day featuring a curated mix of established names and emerging artists. Larsson will close Friday night with her first-ever headlining festival set, following Lola Young and Rebecca Black. Saturday brings Brandi Carlile to the top of the bill, with Ethel Cain appearing earlier in the evening for her final performance of 2026 on the Willoughby Tucker Forever Tour.
Sunday closes the weekend with Carly Rae Jepsen and MUNA, while The Beaches, Hemlocke Springs, CMAT, Jensen McRae, Cara Delevingne and Rebecca Black are among the other artists performing across the three days.
The festival is adding comedy to its New York programming for the first time, with actor and comedian Meg Stalter joining Saturday’s lineup. Stalter follows Natali Jinju and precedes Jensen McRae on the day’s schedule.
Friday gets underway at 2:15 p.m. with Chloe Qisha, followed by Blu DeTiger and Cara Delevingne. Rebecca Black takes the stage at 5:05 p.m., with Lola Young at 6:50 p.m. before Zara Larsson closes the night from 8:45 to 10 p.m.

All Things Go has built a following around its carefully selected lineups and strong connection between artists and fans. That community has even inspired unofficial festival nicknames such as “Gay-chella,” “All Things Gay” and “Lesbopalooza.”
Lorde summed up the festival’s appeal during this year’s All Things Go Toronto edition, joking that she was collecting festival appearances like Pokémon before calling it the coolest festival in North America.
Lola Young, who returns to the festival this year, shared her own excitement about coming back: “All Things Go, we have unfinished business. I feel blessed and ready to take it to the next level. Thank you for having me back.”
The New York festival is part of an expanded 2026 All Things Go schedule that includes editions in DC and Toronto. The DC festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion features Hayley Williams, Mitski, Brandi Carlile and Slayyyter, while Toronto‘s June 6–7 edition at RBC Amphitheatre featured Lorde, Kesha, The Beaches and Wet Leg.
Three-day tickets for all three New York dates are sold out. A limited number of single-day tickets and two-day combinations remain available through the official All Things Go website.

All Things Go Festival 2026 Reveals Set Times for DC Edition
All Things Go Festival has revealed the full set times for its 12th annual DC-area edition, giving fans a first look at how three days of packed programming will unfold across the Pavilion and Chrysalis stages.
Taking place September 25–27 at Merriweather Post Pavilion, the sold-out festival features a lineup led by Hayley Williams, Brandi Carlile, Zara Larsson, Mitski, MUNA, Lola Young, Remi Wolf and Ethel Cain. Other performers across the weekend include The Beaches, Slayyyter, underscores, Magdalena Bay, Wolf Alice, Tinashe, Sierra Ferrell and Rainbow Kitten Surprise.
The festival has sold out for five straight years, a reflection of the community All Things Go has built around its mix of established artists, rising acts and a fan-first atmosphere. This year, comedian Robby Hoffman joins the music lineup, adding a different kind of performance to the weekend.
The Friday schedule starts with Stella Lefty at 3:50 p.m., followed by Balu Brigada, Rainbow Kitten Surprise and Hoffman on the Pavilion Stage. Ethel Cain takes the stage at 7:15 p.m. before Mitski closes the night from 9:30 to 11 p.m. Over at Chrysalis, Slayyyter and Magdalena Bay round out the evening.
Saturday begins at 11:30 a.m. and builds toward a pair of major performances. MUNA plays from 6:45 to 8 p.m. before Hayley Williams closes the Pavilion Stage from 9:30 to 11 p.m. The Beaches have a lengthy 3:15–5:05 p.m. slot on Chrysalis, followed by Del Water Gap and Zara Larsson.
Sunday brings another stacked schedule, with Brandi Carlile closing the Pavilion Stage from 9:30 to 11 p.m. Earlier performances include Tiny Habits, Jensen McRae, CMAT, Wolf Alice, Tinashe, Remi Wolf and Sierra Ferrell. Lola Young takes the Chrysalis Stage at 8:15 p.m., following Father John Misty.
The community surrounding All Things Go has become part of the festival’s identity. Fans and artists have affectionately referred to the event as “Gay-chella,” “All Things Gay” and “Lesbopalooza,” reflecting the inclusive audience the festival has cultivated over the years.
That spirit was summed up by Lorde during this year’s All Things Go Toronto festival, where she joked that she was trying to attend every edition and called it the coolest festival in North America.
Lola Young, returning to the festival lineup, shared a similar sentiment: “All Things Go, we have unfinished business. I feel blessed and ready to take it to the next level. Thank you for having me back.”
The DC festival is part of a larger 2026 expansion for All Things Go. The New York edition at Forest Hills features Zara Larsson, Lola Young, Brandi Carlile, Ethel Cain, MUNA and Carly Rae Jepsen, among others. Toronto‘s June 6–7 edition at RBC Amphitheatre featured Lorde, Kesha, The Beaches and Wet Leg.
For fans still looking to attend the DC festival, the final single-day tickets, two-day combinations and three-day passes are available through the official All Things Go website.
