RALEIGH – Hopscotch Music Festival will bring more than 100 artists to downtown Raleigh Sept. 10-12 for three days of performances across city venues.
The festival’s official account said the 2026 lineup includes more than 100 artists. Independent reporting from Axios said the event runs Thursday through Saturday, with shows beginning in the afternoon and continuing late into the night.
Axios described Hopscotch as one of downtown Raleigh’s biggest annual events and said its club shows remain central to the festival’s appeal.
The North Carolina artists highlighted in Axios include Raleigh acts Jooselord and Kooley High and Carrboro’s Entrez Vous. Axios attributed the broader six-act state spotlight to WUNC music writer Brian Burns.
Single-day passes were listed at $95 plus tax when Axios published its report Wednesday. The two sources did not provide a projected attendance figure or economic-impact estimate.
