SYNDICATE SMOKEDOWN & MUSIC FESTIVAL CELEBRATES 5TH ANNIVERSARY WITH 2026 MUSIC LINEUP REVEAL

Whiskey Myers, Randy Rogers Band, Amanda Shires & More to Perform at the Historic Fort Worth Stockyards Next Spring

The Stockyards’ annual not-for-profit music festival and BBQ competition – Syndicate Smokedown – just dropped its biggest music lineup yet, celebrating the event’s 5th anniversary in DFW on April 18th with tickets available this Friday.

Whiskey Myers, Randy Rogers Band, Amanda Shires, and more are all confirmed to perform, which blends major country, Americana and Texas music acts with one of the state’s top IBCA-sanctioned BBQ championship tournaments.

Why this matters: Syndicate Smokedown isn’t just another festival! It’s ultimately a volunteer-run, not-for-profit fundraiser produced by the historic Fort Worth Stock Show Syndicate who has used the fest to raise tens of millions for Texas youth. Every ticket sold helps support Texas students, youth exhibitors, and agriculture scholarships.
