Texas music legend Robert Earl Keen and the incredible Flatland Cavalry are set to take the stage as headliners for the massive Troubadour Festival this coming spring. Moving to the spacious Midtown Park in Bryan for 2026, the event promises a total celebration of the finest barbecue and country music the Lone Star State has to offer. The stacked Saturday lineup includes performances by Waylon Wyatt and Jason Boland & The Stragglers alongside rising talents like Taylor Hunnicutt and Julianna Rankin. Beyond the music, attendees can sample award-winning offerings from thirty premier barbecue joints including iconic names from the Texas Monthly Top 50 list.
This highly anticipated weekend expands into a full community experience with a free pre-party at The Palace Theater featuring American Aquarium and Shelby Stone. The festivities culminate on Sunday with an exclusive acoustic brunch performance by Jason Boland to honor the twenty-fifth anniversary of his band. Every ticket level from general admission to the luxury VIP+ lounge supports the noble mission of Hogs for the Cause by assisting families of children undergoing brain cancer treatment. This move to the heart of Bryan creates a larger and more immersive festival environment that captures the authentic spirit of Texas culture for thousands of fans.
