For over a decade, the Landings Music Festival has brought our community together with family, fellowship, and fun, to celebrate the music of our lives.
Big changes are coming to the festival for 2026, with a true family picnic feel. The festival becomes resident managed but highly supported by LYGTC.
Attendees this year, for the first time, are invited to bring their own beverages and food to enjoy the event that will once again be held on The Landings driving range.
Three performing groups take the stage this year. “We are Family,” performed by Sister Sledge, became a gold record in 1979, and an anthem for caring and unity throughout the years. “We are Family” is also the theme for our opening performing group at the 2026 Landings Music Festival on Saturday, February 21, 2026. By the request of many in the community, show number one at 5 p.m., “We Are Family,” features nine resident vocalists with a variety of popular sounds and styles.
Making their first festival appearance is the High Voltage Show Band, with 11 on-stage performers and musicians, featuring vocalists Marci G, Steve McDougall, and Lonza Bartlett, who will perform their new show “Spectacular,” a high energy, no-limits variety show filled with audience favorites. Also featured in this show is our own Charlie McCoy, a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Taking the evening to the upper atmosphere is our third show, the amazing “Dirty Fishnet Stockings” from Chicago, Illinois. This award-winning group features the best in zany and fun rockabilly. Fasten your seat belts – this is gonna be a fun ride.
Two professional transportation shuttles with an improved plan for efficiency and speed begin at 3:30 p.m. Shuttle pick-ups will be at the Marina parking lot and at the Helm Club parking lot. Residents can hop on the shuttle at either location from 3:30 until 9:30 p.m.
This year’s festival features new lower ticket pricing and heavy discounts for ticket purchases made in December. Tickets go on sale December 1 at the administration office (stop by or phone).
• December 1-December 30: $25 per person
• January 5-January 30: $30 per person
• February 2-February 21: $35 per person
Any gains from the festival will be donated back to LYGTC and the Iona Fire District Christmas campaign for 2026.
The Landings has established a strong reputation for music and the performing arts, having been the home of the finest singers and musicians in the country. Over 100 residents are a part of organized musical groups on an ongoing basis. Fourteen singers and/or musicians perform professionally off campus and several tour the country on a regular basis.
We ARE Family, and that’s what makes The Landings special. Several residents now boast third and fourth generations of family members establishing their roots in the community. Our foundation is strong. In 2022, Landings residents recorded and released an album filled with music written and performed only by our residents. Nashville senior audio engineer Robert Lucas, who recorded and mastered that album, said, “I’ve recorded thousands of hours of music in my career, and I have never seen one community of people so gifted and talented to create a complete album of music. It must be a special place.”
And indeed, it is.
Come out and join all the fun our music festival has to offer on Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 5 p.m.!
