Jack White and LCD Soundsystem to headline Iron Blossom 2026

Driving the news: Festival organizers announced the artists early Monday morning, the day after its "blind faith" presale — which went live before the lineup was announced — ended.

• The 22 artists who will play in September include Dijon, an R&B singer who collaborated with Justin Bieber on Bieber's latest album, and Geese, a rock band fresh off performing at Coachella and on "SNL."

There's also: Portugal. The Man, the band behind the "Feel It Still" hit and who teamed up with producer Marshmello on "Phoenix" last month.

• Rock band Die Spitz, who is opening for singer Olivia Rodrigo this year.
• And Phantogram, an alt-indie band whose 2014 song "Black Out Days" has seen a resurgence on social media as a trending sound.

Fun fact: At least half of the lineup has never performed in Richmond, per an Axios review, including the headliners.

What's next: Regular presale ticket sales for the Sept. 19-20 festival at Midtown Green start Thursday from 10am-11:59pm and opens up to the public Friday at 10am.

What we're watching: How much more expensive those tickets will be than the "blind faith" presale, which started at $216.
