The volume is rising for summer 2026 as Upheaval Music Festival amps up the excitement. With five new performers announced for the lineup, fans are gearing up for a high-energy weekend in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Poppy, a unique artist known for blending heavy music with pop and electronic sounds, is set to headline the festival. With an upcoming album release and a reputation for powerful and unpredictable live performances, Poppy promises to bring something fresh to Upheaval 2026.
Joining Poppy is Story of the Year, a band with a rich history in the rock scene. They are gearing up to tour in support of their upcoming album, “A.R.S.O.N.”, set to release next month. Set It Off, known for their mix of rock energy and catchy hooks, will bring their Florida-based sound to Upheaval’s diverse audience.
For fans of heavier music, French metalcore band LANDMVRKS will continue their global rise with a performance at the festival. Rounding out the new additions is Thousand Below, a band acclaimed for their emotional lyrics and powerful crowd reactions during live shows.
These five acts will join already confirmed artists like Papa Roach, Bilmuri, and Jinjer, making Upheaval 2026 one of the summer’s most anticipated rock festivals.
After a successful event in 2025 featuring headliners like Rob Zombie and Falling In Reverse, Upheaval Festival has become West Michigan’s premier outdoor rock music event. With more than half of the 2026 lineup yet to be announced, fans can expect additional surprises in the coming months.
