The 2026 Northlands Music & Arts Festival has announced its lineup for the upcoming June event. Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, the Disco Biscuits and Dirty Heads will headline the three-day festival, scheduled for June 19-21 in Swanzey, New Hampshire.

The festival returns to New Hampshire for its annual summer celebration, bringing together jam bands, electronic acts and alternative rock performers. Northlands has grown since its inception to become one of New England’s summer music destinations.

Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, known for their interpretations of Grateful Dead music, will bring their improvisational performances to the festival grounds. The group has toured extensively across the United States, developing a following for their approach to the Dead’s catalog.

The Disco Biscuits will deliver their blend of electronic music and rock improvisation to festival attendees. The Philadelphia-based quartet has been performing together since 1995, releasing multiple studio albums and maintaining a touring schedule throughout North America.

Dirty Heads rounds out the main lineup with their fusion of hip-hop, reggae and rock music. The California band has released seven studio albums and achieved mainstream radio success with several singles over their career.

The festival takes place at the grounds in Swanzey, which have hosted Northlands and other events in past years. Tickets go on sale through the festival’s website, with camping and day passes available for purchase.
