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 indie pop, pop, folk-pop and singer-songwriter across 49 acts.
