One of Savannah’s biggest annual events is back, as the Savannah Music Festival returns March 25 through April 5 with a packed schedule of performances across the city. Over nearly two weeks, concerts will take place at venues throughout Savannah, giving locals and visitors plenty of opportunities to catch live music in a variety of settings.
Known for its wide ranging lineup and global reach, the Savannah Music Festival has built a reputation as one of the most unique multi genre festivals in the country. The festival’s theme, “A World of Music. One City.” continues to hold true, with a schedule that spans jazz, classical, folk, bluegrass, Americana, blues, and international music.
This year’s lineup features a strong mix of returning favorites and new acts, with performances happening at venues like Lucas Theatre, Trustees Theater, Ships of the Sea, Victory North, Kehoe Iron Works, and more. Some of the most notable names on the 2026 lineup include Pat Metheny, Old Crow Medicine Show, Lucius, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Sierra Hull, The Lone Bellow, Tank and the Bangas, and Larkin Poe. The festival also continues to highlight international and genre blending artists, along with classical performances and special collaborations throughout the run.
In addition to the headliners, the festival includes its popular NOON30 concert series, which offers midday performances that are perfect for a more casual experience. There are also smaller, more intimate shows, late night encore performances, and special events spread throughout the schedule, giving attendees plenty of ways to experience the festival beyond just the main stage acts.
Events take place all across Savannah, from historic churches and theaters to outdoor venues and smaller spaces, creating a more immersive experience than a traditional single location festival. That variety is part of what makes the Savannah Music Festival stand out, allowing people to explore different parts of the city while catching multiple performances.
The 2026 festival also features multi day wristbands and VIP options for those looking to attend several shows throughout the week, along with individual ticket options for specific performances. With so many events happening each day, planning ahead is recommended, especially for the more in demand shows.
Whether you are a longtime attendee or checking it out for the first time, the Savannah Music Festival continues to be one of the highlights of the spring season in the city. With a packed schedule, a wide range of genres, and performances happening across Savannah, it is another strong year for one of the city’s most anticipated annual events.
