2026 Wild West Music Fest in Maricopa to feature hip-hop artist Soulja Boy

PHOENIX — The lineup for the 2026 Wild West Music Fest in Maricopa has been released with hip-hop artist Soulja Boy rounding out the three-day event in late March.

The hip-hop icon will take the main stage on March 29 with 90s rock band Alien Ant Farm (March 27) and country group Diamond Rio (March 28) kicking things off.

Tickets are available for purchase online for the music celebration at Copper Sky Regional Park on March 27-29. This year marks the third edition of the music and carnival festival.

Soulja Boy, 35, is a multi-platinum artist who burst onto the scene in 2007 with his viral sensation “Crank That.” His debut album “Souljaboytellem.com” reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and his most recent album, “The Influence,” was released last year.

“His hits defined a generation, his live show delivers nonstop energy and he knows exactly how to move a crowd,” Steve LeVine, CEO of Steve LeVine Entertainment & Public Relations, said in a press release. “He’s the perfect way to close out the festival.”

Children ages 5 to 12 get into the opening day of event, Friday, March 27, for $5 plus fees and adult admission begins at $15 with fees.

Those ages 5 to 12 can enter the festival on Saturday and Sunday for $18.85 including fees and adults for $29.53 with fees.

Children ages 4 and under are free all three days.

The Wild West Music Fest will run from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday, noon to 11 p.m. Saturday and noon to 8 p.m. Sunday.

Last year’s musical lineup featured Sean Kingston, Twista and LeAnn Rimes.

Besides the headlining musical entertainment, eventgoers can expect a variety of carnival games and rides, food trucks and more. Carnival tickets can also be bought online, with individual rides available for $1 or a 10-ride pack starting at $30.
