The White Stripes' architect, still committed to analog friction — old amps, unrehearsed setlists, and a guitar tone like a blown speaker.

About Iron Blossom 2026
Iron Blossom is a two-day festival on Richmond's Midtown Green with a bill considerably sharper than its size suggests: LCD Soundsystem closing Saturday, Jack White closing Sunday, and Dijon and Geese directly beneath them. Twenty-two acts total, which means very little clash anxiety and a lot of room to actually watch things.
The rest of the bill leans local and regional in the best way: McKinley Dixon, Edgehill, Haffway, Night Idea and Dogwood Tales are all Virginia acts, sitting alongside Phantogram, Portugal. The Man, Kevin Morby, La Luz and Die Spitz. The day split is out: eleven acts under LCD Soundsystem on the Saturday, eleven under Jack White on the Sunday.
Expect alternative, rock, indie rock and psych-pop across 22 acts.

The dance-punk philosopher kings — 'All My Friends' remains the great festival closer, and James Murphy its most self-aware master of ceremonies.
Masked Saguenay duo who loop double-necked microtonal guitar into hypnotic, odd-metred math rock — 2026's strangest breakout story.
Songs that sound recorded live in a crowded room by accident — ragged, intimate, and completely singular, with a live band that pushes them even further loose.
Unhinged Brooklyn art-rock — yelping, swaggering, and critically adored, like the Stones reassembled by art students mid-fever.
Upstate New York duo pairing Sarah Barthel's cool delivery with beats that hit considerably harder live — 'When I'm Small' still the entry point.
Alaskan psych-rockers who backed into a global pop hit and kept the weirdness in the live set anyway — 'Feel It Still' plus deep-catalog detours.
Austin's instrument-swapping all-women punk-metal wrecking crew — everyone plays everything, and it all lands at full force.
Dogwood Tales
Edgehill
Evening Elephants
Haffway
Self-made silk — Detroit R&B auteur with a devoted following, self-released and sounding more expensive than most majors.
A high, unguarded voice over guitar figures that keep folding back on themselves — small-town songwriting that never reaches for a bigger gesture than it needs.
Loose-limbed, Dylan-shaped American songwriting, delivered like he has all the time in the world — road-dog albums that keep quietly stacking up.
Reverb-soaked surf guitar under close vocal harmonies — noir beach music with a psychedelic edge and a séance's calm.
Live-band rap steeped in Toni Morrison — dense, literary writing over horns and strings, jazz-rap with a scholar's heart and a poet's ear.
Night Idea
Shera Shi
Skorts
The Stews
Auburn, Alabama band formed in 2020, working a loose, guitar-forward rock sound honed on the Southeastern college circuit.
Victoryland
The headliners
LCD Soundsystem — The dance-punk philosopher kings — 'All My Friends' remains the great festival closer, and James Murphy its most self-aware master of ceremonies. Closing Saturday night.
Jack White — The White Stripes' architect, still committed to analog friction — old amps, unrehearsed setlists, and a guitar tone like a blown speaker. Closing Sunday night.
Up-and-comers to catch early
McKinley Dixon — Richmond's own: literary, live-band rap steeped in Toni Morrison.
Die Spitz — Austin four-piece swapping instruments mid-set and getting very good very fast.
- Haffway — Local act filling out the undercard.
- Skorts — One of the newer names on the bill.
- Dogwood Tales — Virginia americana, well placed on an afternoon slot.
Other acts worth planning around
Dijon — Directly beneath LCD on Saturday. One of the most singular live acts going.
Geese — Sunday's second billing, and a band improving at an alarming rate.
Phantogram — Hits considerably harder live than on record.
La Luz — Reverb-soaked surf guitar under close harmonies.
Kevin Morby — Reliable, unhurried songwriting for a late-afternoon slot.
