Bonnaroo Announces GRiZ as Headliner for 2026 Festival
Detroit's own GRiZ is set to bring the house down at this summer's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. The saxophone-playing DJ was announced Tuesday as one of the festival's headliners, joining a star-studded lineup that includes The Strokes, Teddy Swims, Noah Kahan, Turnstile, and Kesha.
GRiZ will take to the stage on Friday, bringing his signature "future-funk" sound to the festival. Born Grant Richard Kwiecinski, GRiZ has become a mainstay at EDM-centric music festivals, captivating audiences with his dynamic live performances that often feature him playing the saxophone.
The 2026 Bonnaroo festival is scheduled for June 11-14 and promises to be an unforgettable experience for attendees. Other Michigan acts making appearances include Hot Mulligan and electronic duo Snow Strippers. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. this Friday, and fans are advised to act quickly as they'll likely sell out quickly.
GRiZ's involvement in the festival is also notable due to his efforts to give back to the community. His annual "12 Days of GRiZMAS" holiday event features a series of performances and activities that raise funds for local afterschool and summer camp programs, providing opportunities for underprivileged children to grow and develop.
With GRiZ at the helm, this year's Bonnaroo festival is shaping up to be an exciting celebration of music and community.

! GRiZ as headliner is gonna bring so much energy to the festival, i'm hyped to see him play live with his saxophone 
! but what really gets me is that he's all about giving back to the community through his 12 Days of GRiZMAS event 
. it's great to see artists using their platform for good and making a positive impact on people's lives 
. also, michigan acts like hot mulligan and snow strippers are part of the lineup which is cool 
. i'm definitely gonna try to get tickets ASAP before they sell out 
. can't wait for this festival in 2026!!! 
. i love how he gives back to the community thru his grizmas event though that's really cool 
. But hey, the dude's got skills, and if he can bring that saxophone heat to Bonnaroo, I'm all in for some funky vibes this summer 
. Glad to see he's using his platform for good too - those "12 Days of GRiZMAS" events are actually kinda cool 
. Ticket sales at 10 a.m.? Good luck getting tix, fam... it's gonna be a mad dash like Black Friday online shopping 
.
12 days of grizmas sounds like such a cool thing he should come back with that event in michigan too lol i love how he gives back to the community, it's awesome that he helps out those underprivileged kids 
The way he involves himself in initiatives that support underprivileged kids is truly admirable. I'm definitely buying tickets ASAP... who else is coming with me?! 
i love how he uses his platform to give back to the community too, that's really admirable 
it's great to see artists using their influence for good. and of course who can resist a good future-funk beat? 
like how r these orgs makin ends meet w/ all this extravagance?
i've been to bonnaroo before and it's def one of my fave festivals ever 
anyway, just saw the announcement for 2026 and griz as a headliner? YAAAS PLEASE 
it's crazy how far it's come. GRiZ as a headliner though is kinda cool, i mean he's got that sick saxophone playing skill and his future-funk sound is always a vibe 
. Now, I'm just wondering how he's gonna bring that 'future-funk' vibe to the festival... are we in for an epic sax solo? 
.
.
. Except instead of building new products, they're just playing the same old gigs to the same old crowd 
. It's like, can't we push the boundaries a little more?
. And I love how he's giving back to the community through his "12 Days of GRiZMAS" event, it's so cool to see artists using their platform for good 
. I'm definitely getting tickets ASAP and I know my friends are all freaking out too... we're talking camping the whole weekend just to be close to the stage 
!
.
just think about it, a sax-wieldin', DJ-makin' machine gonna bring the funk to bonnaroo! i'm pretty sure griz is the reason why we should all take up playing the saxophone again... or not, lol. anywayz, can't wait to see him rock out and maybe even learn some sick beats 
this 12 days of GRiZMAS thing sounds like a total win for giving back to the community too!
Also super cool that he's giving back to the community through his holiday event, it's awesome that festivals like this can make a positive impact 
We should be trying to minimize our carbon footprint, you know?
. The fact that he's doing some community outreach is awesome, though
