2026 will mark 30 years of the Texas Music Revolution Fest in McKinney, TX, hosted by radio station 95.3 KHYI in Dallas that shirks the same tired pop country format that has infected the airwaves coast to coast to focus on Texas music, bluegrass, and and just about everything else that’s great.
Shane Smith and the Saints, Ray Wylie Hubbard, William Beckmann, Wade Bowen, Shelby Stone, the Kruse Brothers, Ellis Bullard, King Margo, Two Tons of Steel, Lance Roark, Mason Lively, Wesley Hanna, Katrina Cain, special guest Kiefer Sutherland, and many more will be taking the stage June 5th and 6th at the multi-stage festival held about 30 miles north of Dallas.
It’s not a festival, it’s a revolution. It’s also a great opportunity to see some of the best bands in Texas and beyond all in one place. Both KHYI and the Texas Music Revolution Fest are known for helping to develop talent that goes on to have a major national impact—names like the Turnpike Troubadours, Kacey Musgraves, Whiskey Myers, Ryan Bingham, and Charley Crockett.
Also as part of this year’s festival, they’ve announced the release of the “Texas Music Revolution” documentary that chronicles the 25th anniversary of the festival that took place in 2021 right after the pandemic. Directed by filmmaker Troy Paff (Emmy-nominated cinematographer for Dirty Jobs), and featuring Kiefer Sutherland, the documentary showcases some of the biggest names in Texas music like Charley Crockett, Ray Willie Hubbard, Joshua Ray Walker, and Zane Williams.
The full film is planned to be available for streaming around the time of the 2026 festival. For tickets to the 2026 festival and more information, visit tmrfest.com.
