Genre-defying powerhouse Whiskey Myers is set to return to their roots for the eighth annual Wiggy Thump Festival on April 25, 2026, in Palestine, Texas. The hometown heroes will headline a stacked lineup featuring Stoney LaRue, The Band Feel, and 79 South, continuing a beloved tradition that combines high-octane live music with community impact. To date, the festival has raised over $250,000 for the Anderson County Youth Livestock Association, a testament to the band’s commitment to their East Texas heritage. This announcement follows the release of their seventh studio album, ‘Whomp Whack Thunder’, an 11-track project that captures the sweat and soul defining their independent career. After a massive 2025 that included co-headlining dates with the Tedeschi Trucks Band and their own curated Moon Crush music vacation, the six-man band is ready to bring their elevated signature sound back to the fans where it all began.

The festival remains a cornerstone of the band’s connection to their community, serving as a primary fundraiser for local youth programs while delivering one of the most anticipated live shows in the region. Fans attending the 2026 event can expect an explosive setlist featuring new material from ‘Whomp Whack Thunder’ alongside the heavy-hitting classics that have earned the group multi-platinum status.
