The worst kept secret in Richmond is finally official.
After weeks of speculation, Iron Blossom has confirmed what a lot of people were already betting on: Jack White and LCD Soundsystem are heading to Richmond this fall.
The festival will return to Midtown Green in Richmond on September 19 and 20 for its fourth year. The two-day festival will again feature two stages with no overlapping sets.
LCD Soundsystem, led by James Murphy, will perform Saturday with their signature dance-punk set.
Jack White, co-founder of The White Stripes, will close out the weekend with a headlining performance drawing from his solo work and past projects.
Additional artists announced include Geese, Dijon, Angine de Poitrine, Portugal. The Man, Phantogram, Kevin Morby, Die Spitz, along with Richmond locals Night Idea and Shera Shi among others.
The 2026 lineup reflects a mix of rock, electronic, and genre-spanning acts and more than half of this year’s lineup has not previously performed in Richmond.
“We’re always pushing Iron Blossom to evolve, while staying authentic in a time that can feel pretty artificial,” said Dave Niedbalski, partner and talent buyer for the festival. “It’s about putting transformational talent on stage, both established and emerging, in a way that feels cohesive, and creating an experience that’s easy, welcoming, and vibrant.”
