Republic Live has unveiled an absolutely massive lineup for the 2026 edition of Boots and Hearts Music Festival, returning August 7th to 9th to Burl’s Creek Event Grounds in Oro-Medonte. The internationally acclaimed festival introduces an exciting new three-day format that promises to make Canada’s largest music and camping festival even more spectacular. GRAMMY and CMA Award winning icons The Chicks headline Saturday night on August 8th in their festival debut, while ACM Award winning group Rascal Flatts close out the weekend as Sunday’s headliner on August 9th.
The stellar lineup welcomes incredible first time performers including Tucker Wetmore, Jessie Murph, Sam Barber, Dasha, Max McNown, Waylon Wyatt, The Jack Wharff Band, Kaitlin Butts, Ashley Cooke and Emily Anne Roberts. Multi-platinum chart topper Russell Dickerson returns to the Main Stage on Friday, August 7th. Multi-CCMA and JUNO Award winning artist Brett Kissel headlines the Front Porch Stage on Friday night, while platinum selling favourites James Barker Band make their long awaited Main Stage return on Sunday.
Festival co-founder Eva Dunford shares that The Chicks said it best, “I’ve sure been down this road before,” but there’s nothing like the road to Boots. This festival and team have always been dedicated to creating world class experiences that bring people together, and our new three-day format is the exciting next step in that journey. The eight-time CCMA Country Festival of the Year winner introduces two new VIP options for 2026: the Daisy Duke’s Deck VIP+ at the Main Stage and the Front Porch VIP area. Tickets go on pre-sale Tuesday, November 18th at 10 am ET, with public on-sale Friday, November 21st at 10 am ET at www.bootsandhearts.com.
