# Event Details - **Event Name**: 8th Annual LIVIN Music Festival 2-day Event w/Blackhawk - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Sat, 19 Sep, 2026 at 11:45 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: The 8th annual LIVIN Music Festival is Friday, September 18th and Saturday, September 19th at ERX Motor Park in Elk River and presented by Pacifico! We kick off Friday night with the AWESOME return performance from Kat Perkins and the Country Roads Tribute Show!! This show continues to be the talk of the event so we're "runnin it back again!" You'll see tribute performances from Shania Twain, Luke Combs, Garth Brooks, Zac Brown Band, Eric Church, Luke Bryan and MORE!! Opening the night is Midwest CMO male vocalist of the year Aaron Simmons in town from Nashville with his full band! You won't want to miss Friday night! Saturday's daytime activities do NOT require an admission or ticket and as always throughout the day we'll have a BBQ competition, food, drinks, corn hole, camping, friends, family and an inspirational program! The Saturday music line-up is Russ Parrish and the Lone Oaks who have been a crowd favorite the last couple years at the event! Saturday evening on the main stage is once again stacked--and the cool thing is that ALL 4 artists Saturday night have NEVER played the festival! Kicking things off is the Midwest CMO Americana Artist and former Entertainer of the Year Maygen & The Birdwatcher! Incredible vocal harmonies and some boot-stompin' rhythms will be in full effect when they take the stage. Our side stage is another powerful FEMALE vocalist of the year nominee Monique Smaz who has a mix of country and soul that will fill up the entire concert bowl. Our direct support act is Zach Thomas (no relation to Paul Thomas) who's raspy and powerful vocals are a mix between Luke Combs and new comer Josh Ross. Our headliner this year will be one of the most requested acts that we've ever had at the event and that is none other than the 90s country legends of BLACKHAWK!! Vocal harmonies for days and a bunch of songs that will take you back to the first time you heard them AND keep you dancing all night long! Always remember that this event is put on by our non-profit organization (The LIVIN Foundation) to benefit our mission of suicide prevention. It will never be the biggest festival in town, but hopefully it will be one of the most IMPACTFUL. After all, it's not just a music festival - it's #LIVIN and we want YOU there with us!
