Sing Us Home Festival 2026 Brings Headliners to Manayunk

Sing Us Home Festival 2026: A Fourth-Year Return to Venice Island

The Sing Us Home Festival 2026 is set to return for its fourth year, once again transforming Manayunk’s Venice Island into one of Philadelphia’s most exciting cultural destinations. Running from May 1 to 3, 2026, the festival continues to grow under the creative direction of Roxborough native Dave Hause, who envisioned the event as both a neighborhood gathering and a nationally recognized music experience.

This year’s lineup is nothing short of thrilling, with The Menzingers and The Mountain Goats headlining, alongside Dave Hause & The Mermaid performing multiple sets throughout the weekend, and the much-anticipated return of Augustines. Each act speaks directly to the festival’s ethos—bringing together punk, indie, and folk in an atmosphere that feels uniquely Philadelphia: gritty, passionate, and full of heart.

Sing Us Home Festival 2026: The Headliners and Performances

The 2026 edition of Sing Us Home Festival delivers a headlining roster that will resonate with fans across generations. The Menzingers, Pennsylvania’s own punk rock icons, are set to electrify the stage with their raw energy and anthems rooted in working-class storytelling. Indie stalwarts The Mountain Goats, led by the incomparable John Darnielle, bring decades of poetic songwriting and cult-following charisma.

For many, the emotional centerpiece of the weekend will be the return of Augustines, making their first festival appearance after years of silence, with new music to match their triumphant comeback. Meanwhile, Dave Hause & The Mermaid—featuring Dave’s brother Tim Hause, Luke Preston on bass, Kevin Conroy on drums, and Mark Masefield on keys—will anchor the festival with multiple performances, including intimate VIP sets designed for diehard fans.

With more acts to be announced, the Sing Us Home Festival 2026 lineup blends hometown loyalty with international acclaim, creating a program that is as dynamic as it is heartfelt.

Sing Us Home Festival 2026: Beyond the Music

As always, Sing Us Home Festival 2026 goes well beyond the main stage. The event curates a full Philadelphia experience, spotlighting local food vendors, craft beer and cocktails, tattoo and hairstyling pop-ups, and Main Street Music crate-digging sessions. VIP and GA+ packages expand the festival footprint even further, offering open bar perks, additional performances, and enhanced hospitality.

The festival is co-produced by Rising Sun Presents, the team behind beloved venues such as Ardmore Music Hall, Underground Arts, 118 North, and MilkBoy Philly, as well as outdoor favorites like Wayne Music Festival and Concerts Under the Stars. Their expertise ensures that every detail—from sound engineering to vendor curation—matches the scale of the headlining acts.

Presale registration is open now, with presale tickets available starting Wednesday, October 1 at 10 a.m. EST, and general on-sale beginning Friday, October 3 at 10 a.m. EST. With convenient parking, lodging partnerships, and its intimate yet expansive setting, Venice Island remains the perfect backdrop for a festival that feels equal parts neighborhood block party and world-class concert event.
