With the wake now settled from the Minnesota Yacht Club festival’s second successful run, organizers already are setting their sails on Year Three.
Dates for MYC’s 2026 installment have been confirmed: July 17, 18 and 19. It will be another three-day, Friday-through-Sunday lineup for the event at St. Paul’s Harriet Island Regional Park that began as a two-day fest its inaugural year. Early-bird ticket sales and artist names are still a long way off from being announced, though.
“We’ll see you back at Harriet Island next summer,” the Yacht Club’s social media feeds declared Wednesday along with the 2026 dates and a video recap of 2025.
This year’s MYC ran from July 18-20 with Green Day, Hozier and Fall Out Boy for headliners. Representatives from C3 Presents — the Texas-founded, Lollapalooza-tested concert promotions company behind MYC — told the Star Tribune attendance for this year’s festival was right around the 35,000-person capacity each day. The Sunday lineup with Green Day, Sublime and Garbage was the year’s top-selling day.
C3’s team says it does not plan to increase the festival’s capacity despite the sold-out demand from Twin Cities music fans for tickets, in part because of the layout limitations being on a site largely surrounded by water.
“That’s pretty much the number we’ll stay at with this festival, and we were pretty happy with it,” C3 promoter Tim Sweetwood said.
Of course, another number fans will keep their eyes on is the price of tickets that could go up should the organizers foresee more daily sellouts. But that will depend on how big or hot the names are on the lineup poster next year.
Look for a lineup reveal and the first round of ticket sales for Minnesota Yacht Club 2026 to arrive in January.
