Whiskey Myers Announces Eighth Annual Wiggy Thump Festival On April 25

Multi-Platinum band Whiskey Myers return to their roots with the eighth annual Wiggy Thump Festival set for April 25, 2026, in Palestine, Texas.

Featuring performances by the hometown hosts as well as Stoney LaRue, The Band Feel and 79 South, this year’s event continues the tradition of supporting the local Anderson County Youth Livestock Association with more than $250,000 raised for the cause to date. Tickets are on sale now. 
 
The announcement follows the release of the band’s seventh studio album, Whomp Whack Thunder, via the East Texas band’s own Wiggy Thump Records, and a busy 2025 including their “What We Were Born To Do Tour”; the “Live in 25 Tour” co-headlined with the Tedeschi Trucks Band; the band’s own personally-curated Moon Crush “Whiskey Moon” music vacation in Miramar Beach, Florida; acoustic shows via “Whiskey Myers & Friends”; along with appearances at Stagecoach Music Festival and Talladega Superspeedway.

 Whiskey Myers have played nearly 3,000 live shows to increasingly larger crowds since their emergence in 2007. In addition to headlining their own sold-out shows from coast to coast at iconic venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Ryman Auditorium, plus performing at marquee festivals Bonnaroo, Stagecoach, Download and more, the six-piece was also selected to open The Rolling Stones’ Chicago stadium show.
