Join us for the 2026 Syndicate Smokedown & Music Festival, returning Saturday, April 18th in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards!
Celebrate the festival’s 5th anniversary with its biggest music lineup yet, featuring Whiskey Myers, Randy Rogers Band, Amanda Shires, Jason Scott & The High Heat, Ellis Bullard, The Broken Spokes, and Weldon Henson – a powerhouse mix of Texas country, Red Dirt, Americana, and Southern rock.
More than a typical music festival, Smokedown pairs top-tier live music with one of Texas’ IBCA-sanctioned BBQ competitions, showcasing dozens of pitmasters from across the state.
The Smokedown is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit fundraiser, supporting scholarships and agricultural programs for 4-H and FFA youth across Texas. Every ticket sold directly benefits local students, youth exhibitors, and future leaders in agriculture.
Tickets are on sale now – including Music, BBQ Time, VIP, and Platinum passes – at www.SyndicateSmokedown.com.
See you in the Stockyards on this spring!
