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

Iron Blossom 2026 Lineup
Two days on Richmond's Midtown Green with an unusually sharp small-festival bill — LCD Soundsystem one night, Jack White the next.
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. Only the two headline rows have published days so far; everything else is still to be slotted.
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.
From New York, NY · Sounds like The Rapture, Talking Heads
Angine de Poitrine
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.
From Baltimore, MD · Sounds like Bon Iver, Steve Lacy, Blood Orange, Mk.gee
Unhinged Brooklyn art-rock — yelping, swaggering, and critically adored, like the Stones reassembled by art students mid-fever.
From Brooklyn, NY · Sounds like Black Midi, Wet Leg, Parquet Courts, King Krule
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.
From Greenwich, NY · Sounds like Chvrches, Sylvan Esso, Portishead, Metric
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.
From Wasilla, AK · Sounds like MGMT, Foster the People, Unknown Mortal Orchestra
54 Ultra
Austin's instrument-swapping all-women punk-metal wrecking crew — everyone plays everything, and it all lands at full force.
From Austin, TX · Sounds like Amyl and the Sniffers, The Linda Lindas, Gully Boys, L7
Dogwood Tales
Edgehill
Haffway
Self-made silk — Detroit R&B auteur with a devoted following, self-released and sounding more expensive than most majors.
From Detroit, MI · Sounds like Miguel, Gallant
John-Robert
Loose-limbed, Dylan-shaped American songwriting, delivered like he has all the time in the world — road-dog albums that keep quietly stacking up.
From Kansas City, MO · Sounds like Bill Callahan, Cass McCombs, Angel Olsen
Reverb-soaked surf guitar under close vocal harmonies — noir beach music with a psychedelic edge and a séance's calm.
From Seattle, WA · Sounds like Khruangbin, Allah-Las, Shannon and the Clams, Vivian Girls
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.
From Richmond, VA · Sounds like Noname, Saba, billy woods, Open Mike Eagle
Night Idea
Shera Shi
Skorts
The Stews
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.
