Activated Events reminds music fans that Boots In The Park Albuquerque takes place next weekend, May 15 & 16, 2026, at the iconic Balloon Fiesta Park. With set times now released at bootsinthepark.com, attendees can plan their weekend at New Mexico’s biggest music festival featuring over 25 artists across multiple stages.
Post Malone headlines Saturday, May 16, bringing his chart-dominating, genre-bending style and recent country crossover success to the main stage. Jelly Roll headlines Friday, May 15, delivering his soul-baring lyrics and powerful performances that have made him one of country music’s most authentic voices.
The third annual festival has grown into a destination event, adding enhanced features for 2026 including a dedicated Texas Country Stage, increased sound levels, extended hours with music continuing later into the evening, and new immersive experiences throughout the festival grounds.
Lineup Highlights
Friday’s Texas Country Stage features some of the biggest names in Red Dirt and Texas country, including Cody Jinks, Randy Rogers Band, Josh Abbott Band, and Wade Bowen, alongside main stage performances from headliner Jelly Roll and supporting acts including Koe Wetzel, Mitchell Tenpenny, The Band Perry, and more.
Saturday’s lineup showcases headliner Post Malone with Latin music superstar Carín León, rising star Jessie Murph, and country favorites Tyler Hubbard and Clay Walker, along with additional artists performing throughout the day.
“We’re incredibly excited to welcome fans back to Balloon Fiesta Park next weekend,” said Steve Thacher, CEO of Activated Events. “With set times now available, attendees can map out their perfect festival experience across both days. From Post Malone and Jelly Roll to our Texas Country Stage takeover, this year’s lineup represents the full spectrum of country music.”
