Backwoods Barnjam 2026

Every year, that quiet little farm completely transforms. It's the kind of festival where you're watching blues around a campfire one minute, and catching heavy bands like Trucker Diablo on the main stage the next.

They're throwing a lot at it this year, too. There's a rodeo bull if you want to humiliate yourself, axe throwing, bushcraft, and live metalworking at The Forge. You can even get a tattoo right there if you're feeling impulsive. More than the chaos, though, it's got a massive heart. The team from Care After Combat—a genuinely incredible charity supporting veterans—will be there with us all weekend.

A massive part of why this place feels so special is down to Jake and Lauren. They have this way of making you feel completely welcome the second you arrive, like you've been part of the crew for years.

I can't recommend this show enough. If you're looking for a proper, off-grid weekend with good people, grab your tickets and throw a tent in your back seat. I'll see you by the campfire.
