Concert Review: Festival Review: Let’s Go! Music Festival 2026 Returns for Its Sixth Year

Let’s Go! Music Festival returned to the Anne Arundel County Fairgrounds in Crownsville, Maryland, for its sixth year, welcoming fans for another weekend of live music, local vendors, and summer memories.

This year’s lineup featured headliners AJR, Fitz and the Tantrums, Sublime, Natasha Bedingfield, Judah & the Lion, and Matt and Kim, along with performances from Joywave, Valley, Nicotine Dolls, Modern Alibi, Telescreens, and many more. 

Attendees could choose between General Admission (GA), GA+, and VIP ticket options, with free parking continuing to be one of the festival’s most appreciated amenities. One piece of feedback heard throughout the weekend came from families with younger children. Several attendees expressed interest in seeing future festivals offer complimentary admission for children under a certain age, similar to policies offered by many other family-friendly festivals. As Let’s Go! continues to grow and attract more families, it is a suggestion worth considering.

The vendor village featured a variety of food, beverages, merchandise, and local businesses, giving attendees plenty to explore between sets. One potential improvement for future festivals would be the addition of another water refill station on the opposite side of the festival grounds to provide easier access for attendees. Otherwise, combined with manageable crowd sizes and a convenient layout, the festival continued to offer an easy and enjoyable experience for fans.

One of the weekend’s most memorable moments happened between Fitz and the Tantrums and Sublime sets. On the Astound Stage, a couple exchanged wedding vows in front of family, friends, and fellow festivalgoers. The surprise ceremony was met with cheers and applause from the crowd, creating a uniquely Let’s Go! moment that perfectly captured the sense of community and connection that has become synonymous with the festival.

Six years in, Let’s Go! Music Festival continues to balance national touring acts with the welcoming feel of a community event. From a surprise wedding and rainbow-filled skies to singalongs with thousands of fellow fans, the 2026 edition provided plenty of memorable moments and left attendees looking forward to next year.
