Detroit's GRiZ to Headline Bonnaroo Music Festival in 2026
Detroit-born DJ and saxophonist Grant Richard Kwiecinski, aka GRiZ, has been tapped as one of the headlining acts for this summer's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. The festival, set to take place from June 11-14, will also feature big-name national acts such as the Strokes, Teddy Swims, and Kesha.
GRiZ, known for his electrifying "future-funk" sets, is scheduled to perform on Friday evening at the festival. This is a significant honor for the Detroit native, who has become a staple in the electronic dance music (EDM) scene.
In addition to GRiZ, Michigan will be represented by other notable acts, including pop-punk band Hot Mulligan and electronic duo Snow Strippers. The event promises an exciting lineup of performances across multiple genres.
Tickets for Bonnaroo 2026 went on sale at 10 a.m. this Friday at bonnaroo.com, offering fans the opportunity to secure their spot at one of the most anticipated music festivals of the year.
GRiZ has been busy building momentum in his home city with his annual "12 Days of GRiZMAS," a series of holiday events and performances that include live jams, DJ nights, and back-to-back concerts. A portion of the proceeds from these events supports local afterschool and summer camp programs for underprivileged children.
Bonnaroo's announcement marks another milestone in GRiZ's rapid ascent to stardom, solidifying his status as a household name in the music industry.

. like griz is cool and all but does he really need that much attention? its just another festival with more people than us...
, I'm literally so hyped about GRiZ being the headliner at Bonnaroo 2026!!! He's one of my fave DJs and his live performances are always lit 
! Future-funk sets are everything to me 
, can't wait to see him bring that energy to Manchester 
, it's awesome to see artists using their platform for good 
. Anyone else super stoked about the lineup? 
Can't wait to see him shred on stage at Bonnaroo this year. Detroit rep is strong with all the Michigan acts getting love too 
How awesome that a portion of his proceeds support local kids' programs? That's what it's all about 
. The 12 Days of GRiZMAS has been a huge success in Detroit, and it's dope to know that his holiday events are supporting local kids' programs 
I'm so hyped that GRiZ is gonna headline Bonnaroo 2026!!! 
I love his "future-funk" style, it's like a fusion of old school funk with futuristic beats 
. And that GRiZMAS series he does in Detroit? Genius! Giving back to the community like that... it shows what an amazing dude he really is 
I mean, have you seen his live performances? They're literally electric 
! And that he's supporting those awesome afterschool programs in Detroit? 
That's what it's all about, spreading love and good vibes through music 
. Get those tickets ASAP, folks! 
. But what really gets me excited is that he's giving back to his community by supporting those awesome afterschool programs for underprivileged kids 
And GRiZ's sets are known for having an average of 3500+ people dancing in the pit... talk about a party vibe 
! As for GRiZ's local roots, have you seen his "12 Days of GRiZMAS" events? He gives back to his community by supporting underprivileged kids' programs. That's some real good karma 
. On the other hand, I'm a bit skeptical about some of these lineups, like Teddy Swims? Who is that even 
. Still excited for the festival tho!
but seriously, i'm hyped they're bringing more michigan acts like hot mulligan tho 
griz's future funk sets are the real deal, maybe he can bring that energy to manchester 
Can't believe our boy GRiZ is getting the nod from Bonnaroo! I mean, this is huge for Detroit and the EDM scene, you know? We've got some amazing talent coming out of the Motor City and it's awesome to see them gettin' the recognition they deserve. And let's not forget about all the good he's doin' back home with his "12 Days of GRiZMAS" thing - supportin' local kids and afterschool programs? That's the kind of vibe I'm all about 
! I'm so hyped for him to be headlining, it's like the perfect fit for his crazy energy 
, I'm hoping they can get more in stock soon... fingers crossed 
. Did you know that EDM is projected to reach $1.7 billion by 2025? 
. His influence is undeniable - let's look at these numbers: 2020 Bonnaroo attendance was 105k, but by 2024, that number jumped to 110k 
! And in the EDM scene alone, there are over 10M monthly listeners on Spotify for GRiZ's tracks 
. No wonder he's a household name now 
Ugh, festival season is just around the corner... just think about all the crowds and long lines for the bathroom 
And now we have to deal with GRiZ's overpriced tickets 
already on sale? Can't they just announce it at the last minute like everyone else 
... festivals are always a mess for the planet 
Hot Mulligan and Snow Strippers are gonna kill it too! I've been following GRiZ's "12 Days of GRiZMAS" events in Detroit and it's amazing to see him giving back to his community. The fact that a portion of the proceeds goes to local afterschool programs is just awesome.
