I’m thanking my lucky stars, this morning, that Jelly Roll won’t be coming to town.
For context, his contribution to official 2026 FIFA World Cup soundtrack, “Lighter,” received a less than lukewarm reception online. But here in Kansas City, the KC2026 Fan Fest will bring in a multi-genre mix of national headliners and local acts. Not to mention, we’re the first host city to announce a musical lineup.

The dates for headliners are as follows:
- June 12: Tech N9ne (duh)
- June 13 The Chainsmokers
- June 19: Flo Rida, DJ Mal-Ski
- June 20: Cimafunk
- July 3: Gabby Barrett, DJ DeeRock
- July 5: DJ DeeRock
- July 11: Tech N9ne (duh), The All-American Rejects
Notable supporting acts include DJ Doop, who scores KC Current pregames, and Summer Breeze—self-described as “Kansas City’s premier yacht rock tribute band.”
For a sampler of what’s to come, fans can listen to the official Kansas City World Cup playlist here. For those who’ve committed to seeing these fine artists, ticket registration is available here (General Admission is free, with paid premium options).
The countdown now hits 55 days until the World Cup’s arrival. Let’s hope we keep up the pace.
