Billy Strings & Phoebe Bridgers Return To Headline Hinterland In 2027

Hinterland Music Festival will hold its 12th edition July 30 – August 1, 2027 at Roaming Hills in St. Charles, Iowa, about 30 minutes south of Des Moines. Billy Strings and Phoebe Bridgers return as headliners after topping the bill in 2022, with Slayyyter rounding out the headlining trio.

Slayyyter closes Friday’s festivities following performances by Remi Wolf, Ashe, Caroline Polachek, Tiffany Day, Florence Road, Violet Grohl and Judith. Wolf previously appeared at Hinterland in 2025.

Bridgers headlines Saturday, July 31. The day’s lineup also includes Malcolm Todd, The Backseat Lovers, Underscores, Joshua Slone, Emma Ogier, Westside Cowboy and Kinji.

Strings anchors Sunday’s bill alongside Zach Top, Stephen Wilson Jr., Avery Anna, Mon Rovîa, Medium Build and Wade Forster. Organizers also announced a special performance by Haywire in a cornfield.

Hinterland’s single main stage allows attendees to catch each act without competing sets. Late-night performances follow at the campground’s Campfire Stage, which is open to all ticket holders. Tent, car and RV camping options are available, with food vendors and a bar at the Basecamp campground hub. Other attractions include the HinterMarket featuring regional artists and makers, art installations, family-friendly Miniland activities and trails throughout the grounds.

Presales begin Friday, November 13 at 11 a.m. CT. Sign up for access and find ticket and camping information through the festival’s website.
