One of the largest Christian music festivals in America is almost here - and the 2026 lineup is stacked.
Lifest 2026 takes place July 9-12 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, at the Sunnyview Expo Center, featuring Rend Collective, CAIN, KB, Josiah Queen, Leanna Crawford, Skillet, and more across four days of music, worship, and community.
The festival is organized by day, with Rend Collective and CAIN headlining Thursday, KB and Josiah Queen taking Friday, and Leanna Crawford and Skillet closing out Saturday night.
Now in its 27th year as a music festival, Lifest carries the slogan "A Party with a Purpose" and has grown into one of the most beloved annual gatherings in Christian music. At its peak, the festival has drawn more than 20,000 attendees per day across multiple stages, blending national headliners with rising voices in a fully family-friendly environment.
The 2026 lineup reflects the breadth of what Christian music looks like right now. Rend Collective brings their signature folk-worship energy from Northern Ireland. CAIN delivers the kind of anthemic pop-rock that has made them one of CCM's fastest-rising acts. KB brings CHH credibility and fire. Josiah Queen offers folk storytelling rooted in Scripture. Leanna Crawford brings emotional depth and chart-topping singles. And Skillet - one of Christian rock's most enduring acts - closes the weekend with the kind of arena-level intensity their fans have come to expect.
Beyond the music, Lifest is known for its fully immersive experience - onsite camping, a ferris wheel, family activities, bonfire worship after dark, and speaker sessions that add depth between sets. It welcomes attendees of all ages and all church backgrounds.
Four-day passes and single-day tickets are available now at Lifest.com.
Lifest is not just a festival. It is a reunion - a reminder, every July, that the Church is bigger than any one stage, any one genre, and any one city.
