The flagship All Things Go weekend at Merriweather Post Pavilion — indie-pop's biggest tent, pitched just outside DC.
About All Things Go DMV 2026
All Things Go's flagship weekend is indie-pop's biggest tent, pitched at Merriweather Post Pavilion just outside DC — three September days where the internet's favorite songwriters headline and the group chat plans outfits weeks ahead. The 2026 bill is the festival's thesis in full: Mitski, The Hayley Williams Show, and Brandi Carlile as anchors; Ethel Cain, MUNA, and Lola Young carrying the torch; and an undercard dense with the sharpest young pens in folk-pop and synth-pop. It's queer-forward, songwriter-obsessed, and unusually kind for a festival — with a comedy detour (Robby Hoffman) tucked in for good measure.
Expect pop, indie pop, folk-pop and singer-songwriter across 47 acts.
The headliners
- Mitski — The internet's patron saint of yearning — theatrical, precise, devastating, every stage gesture placed like choreography because it is.
- Ethel Cain — Southern-gothic epics — hymn-like, haunted Americana that turns festival fields reverent, the 'Preacher's Daughter' mythology unfolding at its own patient pace.
- The Hayley Williams Show — Paramore's force of nature in her solo era — billed as a 'show' because it's more than a set, deep cuts and reinventions included.
- MUNA — Life-affirming queer synth-pop — 'Silk Chiffon' joy with serious writing chops, and the best live banter in pop included.
- Brandi Carlile — Americana's reigning voice — eleven Grammys of thunder and grace, with a catalog that moves from whisper to belt like weather changing.
- Lola Young — 'Messy' made her unavoidable — raw South London soul-pop with a busted-heart snarl and a voice that earns the Winehouse comparisons.
Up-and-comers to catch early
- Jensen McRae — Scalpel-precise songwriting — one of the sharpest young pens in folk-pop.
- Susannah Joffe — Austin-bred indie pop — 'Cowboys Cry Too' era momentum.
- Hemlocke Springs — Gleefully off-kilter synth-pop — med-school-dropout-to-viral-star pipeline.
- Naïka — Haitian-French-American pop — island rhythms, viral hooks.
- Jake Minch — Guitar-and-heartbreak folk from the For-You page.
- Zolita — Cinematic sapphic pop — music videos with lore, hooks with teeth.
Other acts worth planning around
- Magdalena Bay — Imaginal Disk made them art-pop's darlings — retro-futurist synth worlds, dazzling live.

- She & Him — Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward's timeless retro-pop postcard.
