Next month, northern Florida’s largest independently produced event, Big: Culture & Arts Festival, will return. Programming for the 2026 Big: Culture & Arts Festival is more expansive than ever.
Produced by Dion Dia Recs + HOW BĀZĀR, 2026 Big: Culture & Arts Festival will feature art installations, fashion shows, circus performers, a car show, a film screening experience, a parade, and, of course, music performances. Beginning on April 10 and through April 12, Gainesville, Florida, will be transformed.
Music sets will be housed in the city’s downtown area and spread across eight stages (three outdoor stages and five indoor venues). The 2026 Big: Culture & Arts Festival lineup will be headlined by Earl Sweatshirt, The Alchemist, Zack Fox & UWAY.
Other notable names include Navy Blue, MAVI, Rae Khalil, Liv.e, Chanpan, redveil, Pink Siifu, Ovrkast., Kelly Moonstone, Cleo Reed, and Chuck Strangers.
The lineup features a host of Florida-based artists and collectives, including 00JORDIE, Machina Records, Flozigg, Mijita, The Nancys, Buboy, Camp Blu, Cannibal kids and Jolt Radio.
In a statement, Big: Culture & Arts Festival’s co-producer Laila Fakhoury shared excitement for this year’s stacked lineup.
“A lot of the national and touring artists on the lineup are friends who often collaborate with each other, so this creates an energy much like a summer camp or a family reunion” said Fakhoury. “We want everyone attending Big to feel that kind of comfort, friendliness, and openness to connect with other people. We also worked really hard to represent cities across Florida with our artist lineup. Since Florida can feel like a forgotten state in terms of artists rarely touring here, this feels like a great opportunity to elevate and uplift Florida talent.”
Big: Culture & Arts Festival 2026 is scheduled to take place between April 10, 2026, and April 12, 2026, in Downtown Gainesville, Florida. Tickets for the festival are on sale now. Find more information here.
