The Jonas Brothers are saddling up and heading straight for Boots and Hearts. The multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated band has been announced as the Friday night headliners at the 2026 Boots and Hearts Music Festival, boot-steppin’ into Burl’s Creek Event Grounds Aug. 7-9. Their appearance marks the band’s first-ever country music festival performance and a special moment as Boots and Hearts celebrates its 15th anniversary as Canada’s largest annual country music and camping festival. Known for decades of chart-topping hits, multiple #1 albums, and a stadium-selling fanbase, the production team says the Jonas Brothers are set to bring their high-energy pop-rock live show to the main stage on Friday night. “Country music continues to grow by reaching new audiences, and many of the artists on this lineup helped lead that growth by creating music that connects across generations and genres,” says Brooke Dunford, director of talent buying and business development for Republic Live. “The Jonas Brothers have embraced cross-genre collaboration in the country space, while artists like The Chicks and Rascal Flatts helped open the door for the genre’s mainstream and crossover success.” Jam-packed rodeo of weekend shows The Jonas Brothers are giddying up for an exciting weekend of live music in Oro-Medonte, joined on the main stage Friday by Russell Dickerson and Dasha. Saturday night belongs to The Chicks, the GRAMMY and CMA Award-winning group whose influence spans generations of country and mainstream music. On Sunday night, Rascal Flatts will close out the festival, bringing a flair of country anthems back to Burl’s Creek. Star-studded performers across the full weekend include Russell Dickerson, Tucker Wetmore, Jessie Murph, Sam Barber, Dasha, Max McNown, Waylon Wyatt, The Jack Wharff Band, Kaitlin Butts, Ashley Cooke, and Emily Anne Roberts. Fans will also get a taste of Canadian homage with Brett Kissel, James Barker Band, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, and emerging talent including Thelma & James, Savannah Jade, Tony Stevens, Mitch Zorn, and School House. “With the addition of the Jonas Brothers, Boots and Hearts delivers a rare weekend bringing together multiple arena and stadium-level live acts on one festival bill,” states the Republic Live team in a Wednesday press release. “While the Jonas Brothers’ appearance marks a milestone moment, their presence also reflects country music’s evolving landscape.” This year, the festival is introducing new premium perks, including Daisy Duke’s Deck VIP+ at the Main Stage and a brand-new Front Porch VIP area. Weekend passes, single-day tickets, camping, and parking are available here or on the Boots and Hearts official website.
