Country music stars Lainey Wilson, Jordan Davis, Hootie & the Blowfish, and Treaty Oak Revival will be among the headliners at next year’s Windy City Smokeout at the United Center, as the festival also will add a fifth day in 2026.
The country music and barbecue festival, which will be held in the parking lots outside the the United Center from July 8-12, will host their first-ever early bird experience on Wednesday, July 8, headlined by Treaty Oak Revival.
“Wednesday evening’s early bird experience will provide a more intimate concert, along with a variety of new food vendors for guests to experience, as Smokeout’s 2026 pitmasters focus on putting the finishing touches on Thursday’s BBQ preview and prepping for the world’s largest parking lot party the weekend ahead,” organizers said.
