Red Dirt BBQ & Music Festival 2026 Set for May 9 in Tyler
(KNUE-FM) It’s almost time to announce the lineup for the biggest event each year in East Texas! Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 9th, as we are back for our 12th annual Red Dirt BBQ and Music Festival powered by Choctaw Casino Resort Grant, and produced by our local radio brands, 101.5 KNUE, Mix 93.1, Classic Rock 96.1 and 107.3 KISS FM.
Venue: The Park of East Texas
Last year, we made the move to our new venue at The Park of East Texas. It’s a wonderful 300-acre area in West Tyler, and it’s the home for the East Texas State Fair. We are very excited to host the party once again in the same location. Here's a look at how it went down in 2025
Since we began in 2014, we have had the opportunity to bring so many great bands to our Red Dirt BBQ and Music Festival, including: Whiskey Myers, Randy Rogers Band, Turnpike Troubadours, Josh Abbott Band, Cody Johnson, Parker McCollum, Koe Wetzel, Robert Earl Keen, Ty Myers, Braxton Keith, Treaty Oak Revival, and so many more.
In addition to the music, our festival has featured many of Texas’ best and most celebrated barbecue joints, each showcasing its delicious smoked meats for attendees. Stay tuned; we will announce all of our BBQ vendors soon.
