Kingston, NY indie label Dromedary Records is excited to announce the 2026 lineup for Dromfest, its annual music festival taking place September 4 - 6 at The Avalon Lounge in Catskill, NY. The beloved Hudson Valley festival continues its mission of bringing together artists, fans, and community through a uniquely independent music experience.

Now entering its fourth year, Dromfest has evolved from a label anniversary celebration into one of the country’s most distinctive independent music gatherings, bringing together legendary artists, emerging voices and music fans from across the country for a weekend of performances, collaboration and community.

Dromfest reflects Dromedary’s long-standing commitment to adventurous, independent music and the people who make it possible. The festival’s multi-venue format transforms Catskill into a walkable celebration of outsider art, with performances taking place throughout the village and opportunities for artists and audiences to connect in ways that larger festivals simply cannot offer.

“Dromfest was never intended to be just another music festival,” said Al Crisafulli, founder of Dromedary Records and curator of Dromfest. “It’s about creating a space where artists, fans and friends can come together around a shared love of underground rock music. Every year, the sense of community grows stronger, and we’re excited to welcome everyone back to Catskill in 2026.”
