ROSWELL MUSIC FESTIVAL RETURNS APRIL 18

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 1/22/26

 One of Roswell’s favorite community traditions is back. On Saturday, April 18, 2026, the Roswell Music Festival returns to Historic Downtown Roswell for the fourth year, bringing with it a high-energy mix of live music, local flavors, and fun for the entire family.

Set against the charm of 37 Magnolia Street, the festival will run from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM, with gates opening at 1:00 PM. Attendees can expect a day featuring a curated blend of original and tribute bands, playing everything from classic rock and soul to country and indie/alt rock.

This year’s lineup is headlined by Moon Taxi and includes acts Lamont Landers, Frankly Scarlet, The Sundogs’ Tom Petty Show, Colton Bowlin, and Grace Asbury.

Each band and artist brings a unique sound to the stage, delivering a genre-spanning experience rooted in what Roswell Music Festival does best; creating a live soundtrack that feels both fresh and familiar.

Tickets go on sale Friday, January 23 at 10:00 AM via Freshtix, with pricing designed to make the festival accessible for all:

  • General Admission starts at just $35 for early birds and increases to $50 the day of the show.
  • VIP tickets include access to the VIP tent for shade, a front-stage viewing area, air-conditioned restrooms, and complimentary food and beer. They are $150 in advance and $175 on show day, while supplies last.

The elevated VIP experience is powered by Variant Brewing and Bask Steakhouse, offering attendees premium comfort and hospitality right in the heart of the festival.

While the music takes center stage, the festival’s purpose runs deeper. Proceeds from the 2026 event will benefit Shepherd’s Men, supporting the SHARE Military Initiative at Shepherd Center, an intensive rehabilitation program for U.S. military veterans recovering from PTSD and brain injury.

Alongside the music, guests can enjoy:

  • Local craft beer, wine, and seltzers
  • Food from From the Earth Brewing and other local vendors
  • Vendor Village with artisan goods and festival merch
  • Portable restrooms and ADA-accessible facilities
  • A welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere with kids under 10 attend free with a ticketed adult

  • Ample parking is available across the street at Roswell City Hall and throughout the surrounding area, though rideshare is encouraged.
  • Re-entry is allowed with your festival wristband.
  • This is a rain or shine event!
