Tickets On Sale Soon For Ravinia Festival 2026

HIGHLAND PARK, IL — In under two weeks tickets for Ravinia Festival 2026 go on sale to the general public.

The yearly festival will take place over the summer, running from June until September. The festival will feature music, art and culinary experiences.

Organizers said this season will highlight the ongoing renewal and enhancement of Ravinia's historic 36-acre park, led by the opening of the refreshed Hunter Pavilion.

"The grand opening of the Hunter Pavilion marks a historic milestone for Ravinia,” said President and CEO Jeffrey P. Haydon. “It is particularly meaningful that this state-of-the-art venue will serve as the inaugural stage for our debut artists, including conductor Klaus Mäkelä, Ricky Martin, Miranda Lambert, Alabama Shakes, Rod Stewart, and many others. We are finding that the pavilion’s enhanced acoustics and sophisticated production capabilities are a powerful draw for world-class talent eager to perform in a venue that doesn’t just host music but creates an atmosphere that leaves both artists and audiences equally inspired.”

The lineup features legendary performers such as Paul Simon, Gladys Knight, Bonnie Rait, Brandi Carlile and Jacob Collier. Acclaimed artists will also take the stage, such as Hugh Jackman, Rod Stewart, Kool & The Gang, Chance the Rapper, Ricky Martin, Alabama Shakes and, Ray LaMontagne, who are making their Ravinia debuts.
