The festival will take place again on June 5 and June 6 in 2026 at downtown "magical" McKinney. Josh Jones, who produces Texas Music Revolution, says they're doing a blind presale on the website so you can snag your tickets early.
"We were turning people away two weeks ago, but you can go in and lock in tickets for next year at this year's prices cause prices are going to go up and get your tickets a year in advance," Jones says.I’m listening to @khyi and they announced location and dates for Texas Music Revolution 30. You can grab presale tickets for them now! pic.twitter.com/ZlnklgJCFF

Jones also said they're currently working on TMR30 now and they are looking to secure headliners soon.
Earlier this month, McKinney hosted the 29th edition of TMR, a two-day festival that the whole city rallies behind. The streets fill with vendors, tucked-away venues emerge throughout the city, and shops and restaurants extend their hours.
It featured an all-star lineup, including West Texas’s finest Flatland Cavalry, American rock group Dawes and Austin’s twangy, old-school country group Silverada. Country, folk and western fans from all over DFW filled downtown McKinney to catch these groups, along with plenty of other local and aspiring artists.
And don’t get it confused, these lesser-known acts aren’t just stage fillers, they’re the backbone of the event, playing at side venues and in shops, bringing the city to life. Examples from this year's festival would be Corina Grove, a Dallas-based singer who brings a western-pop style beat that performed at the Texas Homegrown Music Stage, Sawyer Guymon, a young, smooth singing American-Folk artist with a sweet raspy voice that will make anybody sway their hips, and Crow and Gazelle, a duo whose music reaches the sole through raw harmonies and acoustic simplicity.
It’s safe to say that, while the festival ended, we’re already excited for Texas Music Revolution 30. This event proves year after year to be not only a chance for locals to see groups that they’d usually have to go to Dallas or Fort Worth to see, but for upcoming singers and songwriters to perform for crowds they might not have reached. It’s about community, opportunity and a love for Texas music.
The lineup for TMR 29 wasn’t announced until January before the event, so keep an eye out for the groups, acts and artists participating, as well as ticket and pass information at the end of the year.
