Fort Desolation Fest 2026 Lineup: Drive-By Truckers, Andrew Bird, Grahame Lesh & More

After a one-year hiatus, Fort Desolation Fest returns to scenic Cougar Ridge Resort in Torrey, Utah September 24 – 26, 2026. Organizers just revealed the lineup for the fifth installment of a festival combining music and adventure travel in the Utah desert landscape.

Drive-By Truckers, Andrew Bird and Grahame Lesh & Friends have been tapped to headline. Additional performers include Rayland Baxter, Futurebirds, Tune-Yards, Bella White, Grace Cummings, Coleman Jennings, Triggers & Slips and Pixie & The Partygrass Boys.

Attendance is limited at Fort Desolation to ensure what producers say is “a premium experience for all.” Festivalgoers are encouraged to create their own adventures at a site located just outside Utah’s majestic Capitol Reef National Park before the music is presented at night. Options include hiking, fly-fishing, cycling and off-roading.

GA tickets, VIP passes, camping bundles, villa and glamping options are on sale now.
