The Eagle River Jamboree has officially announced the full lineup for its inaugural festival taking place Aug. 8–9 at the Eagle County Fairgrounds in Eagle. The two-day music and outdoor experience will bring nationally touring artists, regional favorites, camping, outdoor recreation, local vendors, family activities, and late-night experiences to the banks of the Eagle River.
The 2026 lineup features Ripe, Robert Randolph, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, The Band of Heathens, Jason Scott & The High Heat, Pickin’ On The Dead, DJ Williams Band, The Runaway Grooms, Dragondeer and more. Saturday’s headliner, Ripe, returns to Eagle after bringing their high-energy funk set to the Eagle Block Party in 2022.
The festival is produced by the Colorado Music Foundation, a local nonprofit dedicated to building and supporting a thriving music community in Colorado by providing performance opportunities and increasing access to music education for Colorado artists and youth.
Proceeds from the festival pour directly back into Colorado communities through initiatives like the Play It Forward Instrument Drive and Education Program, where Colorado Music Foundation provides free instruments and lessons to aspiring musicians and disadvantaged populations.
“We wanted to create a legacy musical event for down valley while remaining authentic to the community and our mountain culture,” said Zach Gilliam, festival director of the Eagle River Jamboree. “This festival is about bringing people together through music, outdoor adventure and shared experiences while also supporting the mission of the Colorado Music Foundation.”
