Your 2026 Calf Fry Music Fest headliners are here.

As an Oklahoma State alum, I have many fond memories of walking (or slightly stumbling) into the Tumbleweed for the Calf Fry Music Festival. The festival conveniently takes place right before Oklahoma State’s Spring semester finals, which makes it the perfect study break to kick back, relax, and enjoy some incredible country music before hitting the books hard to finish out the semester.

Each year, The Tumbleweed pulls together incredible acts that hit the independent red dirt country scene, as well as featuring bigger-name artists, making for a weekend that any country music fan can enjoy. Last year’s stacked lineup included performances from Treaty Oak Revival, Ole 60, Tanner Usrey, Stillwater native Wyatt Flores, Taylor Hunnicutt, William Clark Green, Kashus Culpepper, Ian Munsick, Casey Donahew, and more.

While Calf Fry Music Fest has not announced its full lineup for 2026, it is giving fans a taste of what’s in store by announcing its headlining acts.

With out further a do… Your 2026 Calf Fry headline performers are… drum roll, please.

Flatland Cavalry, Charles Wesley Godwin and Josh Meloy.

If these are the headlining acts, I am letting my imagination run wild on who will be tapped as support, and I’m envisioning another stacked lineup from the Stillwater, Oklahoma festival.

Tickets for Calf Fry Music Fest are on sale NOW, and the festival is set to take place from Thursday, April 30, through Saturday, May 2. If you’re a fan of red dirt country music, this is not a festival that you’ll want to miss.

With Flatland Cavalry having already dropped a new single in 2026 and Charles Wesley Godwin teasing new music, I bet country music fans will have a lot of new songs to belt out the lyrics of.

Fire up Flatland’s “Never Comin’ Back” while you’re here:
