Georgetown’s Two Step Inn Festival Returns for Fourth Year with Stellar Lineup
Since its remarkable debut in 2023, Georgetown’s Two Step Inn has leaped far beyond its initial buzz, quickly establishing itself as a premier country music festival and a standout event across all genres. The festival, which celebrates its fourth edition from April 18-19, 2026, recently revealed an electrifying new lineup announced on September 24, headlined by country legends Brooks & Dunn and the powerful voice of Chris Stapleton, promising another unforgettable weekend at San Gabriel Park.
Though only a few years young, Two Step Inn has firmly claimed its spot as the main country festival in the region and one of the most talked-about music events nationwide. What sets it apart is not just its focus on country music, but its open embrace of diverse genres. Fans will find a captivating blend that includes Americana, soul, rhythm and blues, and even rap, showcasing the festival’s commitment to celebrating a wide spectrum of musical styles without being tethered to just one.
The festival’s location at San Gabriel Park helps cultivate an authentic and inviting atmosphere that evokes the warm, communal spirit of classic music festivals. From the first notes to the final encore, attendees are guaranteed a vibrant experience in this lush outdoor setting — one that feels both timeless and modern.
The 2026 lineup promises to be a formidable roster, with Saturday’s stage dominated by the torrid energy of Brooks & Dunn, complemented by the legendary rock-pop vibes of Goo Goo Dolls and the dynamic rap flair of BigXthaPlug. Sunday follows suit with the soulful country rock of the Tedeschi Trucks Band, the raw Americana of The Red Clay Strays, and culminating in an electrifying performance by Chris Stapleton, a true icon of contemporary country music.
“Two Step Inn is really a unique festival because it doesn’t confine itself strictly to country — it invites all sorts of music lovers to come together, which creates this incredible vibe you just don’t get anywhere else,” said **Maggie Thompson**, a longtime attendee and music blogger.
For fans eager to secure their spot at the festival, pre-sale tickets will be available starting Friday, September 26, at noon. The organizers urge attendees to take advantage of the pre-sale, as availability for the general public will depend on remaining tickets, signaling how quickly tickets are expected to sell out. Interested concertgoers can register for the exclusive pre-sale code at the official website twostepinn.com.
“Last year, we sold out completely within the first few days of ticket sales,” explained **Jared Collins**, the festival’s promoter. “We always recommend fans get pre-sale access to avoid missing out — it’s going to be just as popular, if not more so, this year with our lineup.”
Music industry insiders have also praised Two Step Inn for its consistent quality and growth. Kelly Ramirez, a country music critic, shared her thoughts on the festival’s rapid ascent.
“Two Step Inn has quickly moved from a newcomer to a must-attend festival for country fans and beyond. The curation is thoughtful, balancing legends with emerging artists, and the community spirit is palpable,” Ramirez said.
Moreover, the festival’s inclusion of various genres and cross-generational acts mirrors evolving trends in music consumption, where fans appreciate more eclectic and genre-blurring experiences. This, combined with the festival’s natural setting and intimate feel, sets Two Step Inn apart from larger, more commercialized festivals.
Festival regular David Lee, a musician himself who has played at various Americana festivals, weighed in on the event’s unique charm.
“Two Step Inn has an incredible way of making every artist feel like they’re part of a family. It’s not just about the big names — it’s the smaller acts and the environment too. I always look forward to playing there because it’s an experience unlike anywhere else,” Lee said.
As anticipation builds for the April event, music lovers from across the country and beyond are marking their calendars to witness a lineup that not only honors country’s deep roots but also embraces the broader musical landscape. With its compelling mix of talent and the undeniable allure of San Gabriel Park’s scenic outdoor stage, Two Step Inn seems poised to take more than just two steps forward for its fourth year.
