All Things Go D.C. has unveiled its 2026 festival lineup, anchored by indie rock stalwarts Mitski, Hayley Williams, and Brandi Carlile. The Washington D.C.-based music festival rounds out its bill with MUNA, Ethel Cain, Zara Larsson, Lola Young, Violet Grohl, and She & Him.
The announcement reflects the festival's established identity as a platform for alternative pop and indie rock acts, with particular emphasis on female-fronted and queer artists. Mitski brings her latest era of introspective indie experimentation, while Williams represents pop-punk's alternative establishment through her work with Paramore and solo endeavors. Carlile's inclusion signals the festival's willingness to book established Americana and folk-influenced artists alongside younger acts.
MUNA, the Los Angeles synth-pop trio, continues their festival circuit prominence following their 2023 self-titled album. Ethel Cain, who emerged as an indie-pop force with her 2022 debut "The School for Good and Evil," commands a growing fanbase. Zara Larsson maintains her pop presence, while Lola Young represents the UK grime and R&B crossover movement. Violet Grohl, daughter of Dave Grohl, brings her own indie-pop credentials. She & Him, the indie folk duo of Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, rounds out a deliberately curated roster.
All Things Go has positioned itself as a regional alternative to larger festivals like Coachella and Outside Lands, with strong appeal to Gen Z audiences and established indie devotees. The 2026 announcement comes during a period of festival consolidation, where mid-tier events compete fiercely for both artist availability and audience attention.
The D.C. edition specifically caters to the East Coast indie market and the region's robust music community. Ticket information remains unavailable, but previous years suggest early bird pricing and pre-sale options.
