Bonnie Raitt, Pink Martini and Los Lobos & Los Lonely Boys are among the artists who will be featured at this summer’s Britt Music & Arts Festival in Jacksonville.
The first wave of concerts for the 2026 summer season was announced Friday and, according to the press release, it “marks the first of multiple lineup releases and offers an exciting preview of the diverse artists and performances heading to the Britt hill this year.”
The lineup of scheduled performances is intended to showcase the “breadth of Britt’s programming, featuring an eclectic mix of genres and experiences, from international favorites to stand-up comedy,” the release said.
Other groups will include Icelandic rock powerhouse KALEO, the legendary Alison Krauss & Union Station, the “soul-infused crowd favorite California Honeydrops, and, “to add a comedic highlight,” an evening with Jim Gaffigan.
“Our first Britt Live announcement each year is always a thrill,” said President & CEO Abby McKee. “Our team has spent months keeping these announcements closely guarded, and we’re delighted to finally spill the beans on what I think fans will agree is an exceptional lineup. Even beyond the incredible mix of artists we present on stage, evenings at Britt are the best kind of community: singing, dancing, laughing, and enjoying the beautiful hillside together.”
McKee emphasized the shows revealed “is only the first batch of shows, with two more announcements coming up in February and March!”
