ALL THINGS GO 2026 LINEUP PREDICTIONS
BY LIZ BAUMMERIs It Too Soon to Start Talking about ATG 2026…?
The answer is no never… ;)
Fresh off the back of ATG 2025, we have some early thoughts about who we might see on the 2026 lineup. Having correctly predicted 5 of the 7 headliners last year, we have a reputation to uphold, and we take that VERY seriously. See our early predictions for next year below:
Audrey Hobert - The first time I heard her music my first thought was that she would be the perfect fit for All Things Go. I love her style of music, and it perfectly fits with the vibe that the festival curates. I also think that her music perfectly plays to the existing fan demographic of the festival.
Addison Raye - I also think that the existing fans of the festival would go feral for Addison Raye. I feel like there is a ton of overlap between the fans of the artists on their year’s lineup, and fans of Addison Raye. Her show at The Anthem in DC was a wild success, and I can totally see her returning to DC for the festival next year.
Tate McRae - I mean who doesn’t love Tate McRae at this point. I feel like she is taking over the world one show at a time. Her iconic dance breaks remind me of the popstar era of Britney Spears. McRae’s iconic performances would fit perfectly into the ATG lineup!
Cynthia Erivo - I will be a Cynthia Erivo fan until the day that I die. She has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard, and beyond that every video I have seen of her talking about art makes me want to be a better artist. She’s also an outspoken advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights and is open about her experience as a queer woman. All of this makes her the perfect fit for ATG.
Lorde - Could ATG see the return of Lorde in 2026? Lorde headlines the festival in 2022, and the festival has grown exponentially since then. I would love to see her return to the festival in 2026 after the growth both she and the festival has experienced. She also recently played two sold out shows at The Anthem in DC (right after ATG 2025) so the demand for more Lorde is definitely there in DC.
Olivia Dean - I! Want! More! Olivia! Dean! I have fallen more and more in love with her music over the last couple of months. It is so nice to see her receiving her well-deserved flowers. I am confident we will continue to see her dominate next year, and I am predicting now that she will be on MANY festival lineup… and I’m hopeful ATG is one of them.
Katseye - Katseye’s performances are nothing short of incredible. Their pristine vocals mixed with their high-energy dancing and formations on stage make them performance powerhouses. I am hoping that maybe we will get to see that on the ATG 2026 stage next year.
Raye - I have also loved watching Raye receive her flowers recently. Her vocals are absolutely insane, and I love her style of music. TikTok has especially been absolutely feral for her music as of late. I am hoping we’ll see her on lots of lineups next year, and I am (maybe selfishly hoping) that ATG will snag her for their lineup as well.
Gracie Abrams - I am a Gracie Abrams fan for life. She is one of my all time favorite artists. I think that she perfectly matches the vibes for ATG especially with their desire to prioritize female artists. Honestly, just the thought of screaming That’s So True at Merriweather next year is giving me goosebumps!
PinkPantheress - PinkPantheress is ICONIC! and I desperately want to see her life. Her performances are insane, and she has such a wonderful voice. I’ve been getting more into her music recently, and I think we are going to see her continue to rise in fame. I can totally see her absolutely taking over the ATG stage next year.
Rainbow Kitten Surprise - This prediction stems from capturing Rainbow Kitten Surprise playing The Chrysalis earlier this year. It’s not often that an artist plays The Chrysalis instead of The Pavilion on a regular tour stop, but Rainbow Kitten Surprise opened their tour at The Chrysalis. I would love to see them come back and play The Chrysalis again. Additionally, they currently already have a North American tour planned for next year, but it ends in Pittsburgh on September 23rd… very close to DC and traditionally ATG is the last weekend in September… just saying
Magdalena Bay - I recently photographed Magdalena Bay at The Anthem in DC, and let me tell you their fans are passionate and amazing. I think Magdalena Bay would be an incredible addition to the ATG lineup. Plus with their visuals and production elements, I would love to see them take over the Chrysalis Stage (aka my favorite big green blob in the woods)! I think the vibes of the stage and the artist would match PERFECTLY!
Mercer Henderson - Another artist that is on the smaller side, Mercer Henderson has grown exponentially over the last year and a half. I have had the privilege of capturing her multiple times on several different tours that she has been supporting on. I am so excited to continue to see her grow, and I think she would be the perfect addition to the ATG 2026 lineup!
Will Linley - Will Linley is (in my humble opinion) one of the most criminally underrated artists currently. He has some of the best pop music currently being released, and on top of that he is a top tier performer. He brings high energy to every stage he is on, one time even dancing so hard that he injured himself. Above all, his sets are an absolute blast, and I think the fanbase of ATG would love him and his music.
