All Things Go Festival has announced its 2026 lineup, featuring Hayley Williams, Mitski, and Ethel Cain as headliners. The Washington D.C. event will also welcome back Lola Young, who collapsed during a performance at last year's festival.
Young's return marks a significant moment for the festival, which faced scrutiny following the incident. The artist has since recovered and expressed her intention to participate in the 2026 edition. Her appearance signals both the festival's commitment to supporting artists and Young's readiness to reconnect with the stage.
The headliner selections reflect the festival's continued focus on indie and alternative music. Williams brings her pedigree as the former Paramore frontwoman and solo artist. Mitski, known for her emotionally intense indie rock records, represents the festival's appeal to critically acclaimed artists. Ethel Cain, whose concept album "Perverts" generated substantial cultural conversation, demonstrates the event's embrace of experimental and boundary-pushing musicians.
All Things Go has established itself as a premier destination for indie and alternative fans in the mid-Atlantic region. The festival's programming typically emphasizes artist diversity and discovery, pairing established acts with emerging talent. Previous editions have drawn strong attendance and critical attention for their curated approaches.
The 2026 announcement arrives amid broader festival recovery and growth in the live music sector. After years of pandemic disruption and subsequent industry recalibration, festivals continue to refine their offerings and safety protocols. Young's participation underscores this evolution.
All Things Go takes place in Washington D.C. each fall. Additional lineup details and festival dates for 2026 are expected to follow. The festival joins other major events in programming toward the future, suggesting renewed confidence in large-scale live music experiences. For fans of indie and alternative music, the 2026 edition promises a strong lineup spanning different eras and aesthetics of contemporary rock and alternative music.
