SweetWater 420 Fest has announced the first wave of artists for its 2026 lineup, with Umphrey’s McGee, Thievery Corporation and Chromeo set to perform at the annual event.

The festival, which takes place each spring in Atlanta, Georgia, will return for its next edition following this pattern of mixing jam bands with electronic and funk acts. Umphrey’s McGee will bring their improvisational rock sound to the festival grounds, marking another appearance at the long-running event.

Thievery Corporation, the Washington D.C.-based duo known for their blend of dub, acid jazz, and world music, will also take the stage. The group has performed at SweetWater 420 Fest multiple times over the years.

Chromeo rounds out the initial announcement, bringing their funk and electronic music to the festival. The Canadian duo has built a following through their synthesis of 80s-inspired sounds and modern production techniques.

SweetWater 420 Fest typically announces its lineup in waves throughout the winter months leading up to the April event. The festival combines music performances with craft beer tastings from SweetWater Brewing Company and other breweries.

Ticket information and additional artist announcements are expected in the coming weeks. The festival has not yet confirmed the exact dates for the 2026 edition.
