Klamath Music Festival Announces 2026 Lineup

Mix Master Mike of the Beastie Boys to headline downtown Klamath Falls event

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — Klamath Music and Watershed Row have announced the full lineup for the 2026 Klamath Music Festival, scheduled for July 24–25 at the future Watershed Row development in downtown Klamath Falls.

Festival organizers say the move to Watershed Row marks an important step for the region’s music scene. The upcoming mixed-use campus at 330 S. 7th Street is being developed as a nonprofit community space designed to host recreation, dining, and events in the heart of downtown.

Plans for the half-block campus include a climbing gym, bakery and garden, event hall, and small food and retail businesses, creating a year-round hub for local activity and community gatherings.

Headlining the 2026 festival is Mix Master Mike, the internationally known DJ recognized for his groundbreaking work with the Beastie Boys. Organizers say the performance brings a nationally recognized name to the Basin while showcasing regional and local artists.

The event will begin with a VIP Preview Night on Friday, July 24 from 5–8 p.m., offering early access to festival attendees. The full festival will take place Saturday, July 25 from 1–9 p.m.
