Sips & Sounds Music Festival has officially revealed its full 2026 set times, giving fans the green light to start planning their weekend at Auditorium Shores in Austin, Texas. The two-day event will return on 13th - 14th March, 2026, bringing together a diverse lineup spanning pop, electronic and alternative across multiple stages. With anticipation already high, the release of the daily schedules marks a major milestone in the lead-up to the festival.
Friday’s program is headlined by Christina Aguilera, who will close out the Coca-Cola Stage from 8:45pm, following performances from Major Lazer Soundsystem, Ravyn Lenae and Aidan Bissett. Over on the SXSW Stage, Grouplove, Between Friends, The Two Lips and Skateland are set to deliver a stacked afternoon and evening run. The staggered scheduling allows fans to move between stages without heavy clashes, setting up a smooth opening day experience.
Saturday sees Calvin Harris take top billing, closing the festival from 8:30pm on the Coca-Cola Stage after sets from Foster The People, Stephen Sanchez and Mallrat. The SXSW Stage will feature Caroline Hale, Jade Lemac, The Runarounds and Flipturn throughout the day, offering a strong alternative-leaning counterpoint to the main stage programming.


With two-day tickets now sold out, demand remains strong for single-day passes, which are still available for both Friday and Saturday. As Sips & Sounds continues to cement itself as a key spring fixture on the US festival calendar, the newly released set times only add to the excitement surrounding its 2026 return.
