Fork Fest continues to pull out all the stops when it comes to their annual headliner. Utah County’s premier annual showcase of local bands recently announced that Billboard-chart toppers Neon Trees would be the headliner for this year’s festival.

Presented by Harrington Center for the Arts and Velour Live Music Gallery, the festival will bring thousands of concertgoers from all over the regionto Art Dye Park in American fork on both June 12 and June 13, 2026. There, 32 artists will perform across three stages. Attendees can also enjoy art installations, food trucks, bounce houses, and booths from local vendors and artisans.

Fork Fest also announced the complete lineup of local acts this year, as well as a fun “Locals Cover Locals” segment during the Firelight Kickoff on June 12.

Neon Trees emerged from Provo in the late 2000s, gaining national attention with their breakout 2010 single “Animal,” which became a multi-platinum hit and defined their blend of new wave-inspired pop rock. Fronted by Tyler Glenn, the band built momentum with their debut album Habits and followed it up with successful releases like Picture Show and Pop Psychology, producing radio-friendly hits such as “Everybody Talks” – now sitting at an absolutely mind boggling 1.1 billion streams on Spotify alone.
