FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 1st, 2026

EASTBOUND JESUS AND GUTHRIE/BELL PRODUCTIONS ANNOUNCE LINEUP FOR 11TH EASTBOUND THROWDOWN.

The Eastbound Throwdown returns to the Irwin Family Farm in Salem, NY for two days of music and camping September 11th and 12th. The festival prides itself on being very family friendly but also a great big party, showcasing a lineup of country rock, bluegrass and folk music. The lineup features half  bands that are longtime friends of Eastbound Jesus and have played the event before, and a half are acts that will be new to the Throwdown stage. Many bands are local favorites and some are coming from as far as Nashville, TN and Portland, ME.

Weekend passes went on sale in April and are $100, including two nights of camping. With the release of the lineup, Saturday day passes are now also on sale for $60 (camping not included). Children 15 and under get free admission, no ticket is needed.

Friday: Eastbound Jesus, The Mallett Brothers Band, Neon Moons, The Laura Leigh Band, Chloe Kimes, Turf n Turf

Saturday: Eastbound Jesus, Sicard Hollow, Breakin’ Strings, Hilltop, Saints & Liars, Eugene Tyler Band, Eastern Highs, Dan Johnson & His Expert Sidemen

In addition to the lineup of bands, DJ Tex will be spinning all vinyl sets of classic country & honky tonk between the last three bands on Saturday night, keeping the crowd moving while the next band sets up.

For a second year, Stephanie Vaus of Sasaphras Yoga will be leading a 45min class at 10am on Saturday before music starts at 11. Last year’s class was a big success and it’s a great way to start the second day at the festival, or show up early with a day pass and get prepped for a full day of music.

The Greenwich Library will also be on site with a kid’s area set up throughout the weekend, they’ll be teaming up with local artist Catelyn McCann to offer a variety of crafts.

A variety of food and beverage vendors are onsite, but guests are also welcome to bring their own food and drink.
