Headliner Spotlight: ZZ Top

Few Texas bands have left a bigger bootprint on music than ZZ Top, the sharp-dressed, bearded trio formed in Houston in 1969. With timeless hits like “Sharp Dressed Man,” “La Grange,” and “Gimme All Your Lovin’,” ZZ Top remains one of America’s most iconic rock bands. Their live show is a masterclass in Texas swagger, cool, loud, and unforgettable.

Headliner Spotlight: Cody Jinks

Cody Jinks went from the world of heavy metal to becoming one of the most respected artists in modern country. With gritty, lived-in songs like “Loud and Heavy” and “Hippies and Cowboys,” Jinks built his career the outlaw way, no shortcuts, no compromises. His loyal fanbase is massive, and he always draws one of the biggest crowds of the weekend.

Headliner Spotlight: Diamond Rio

Diamond Rio changed the sound of ’90s country with harmony-driven hits like “Meet in the Middle,” “Beautiful Mess,” “One More Day,” and “How Your Love Makes Me Feel.”
Known for their musicianship and vocal blend, the band remains one of country music’s most beloved groups. Their addition to the 2026 lineup brings a huge nostalgic punch.

Make This the Festival You’ll Remember Forever

Outlaws & Legends isn’t just another show; it’s a Texas tradition. From the music to the camping to the giant family reunion feel, it’s the kind of weekend where memories are made, friendships are strengthened, and stories last for years.

But you won’t be part of it if you wait too long.
