The Lineup
Who’s playing on the Main Stage?
1:30 PM • MAIN STAGE
A Des Moines and Cedar Falls singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with roughly 10 years of performing experience. With an alternative folksy-pop-rock sound, Riley's original songs offer relatable insight into the coming-of-age journey. She's played the 80/35 Music Festival, the Iowa State Fair, Capital City Pride Fest, and venues across the state including xBk Live and Captain Roy's.
Riley Jane & Friends
4:15 PM • MAIN STAGE
A Des Moines cover band that showcases all your favorite songs written and/or performed by women. Officially formed in 2020, five talented musicians came together to highlight women in the music industry. They bring a wide range of music across genres and time periods and have played stages all across Iowa.
June Bugs
3:45 PM • MAIN STAGE
A Central Iowa Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers tribute band — complete with a secret weapon who brings the sound of Stevie Nicks to the stage. Their set covers Tom's most-loved hits alongside Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, and similar favorites. These seasoned musicians bring over 100 combined years of live music experience.
Kinda Petty
8:15 PM • HEADLINER • MAIN STAGE
From Des Moines, IA — The Other Brothers are turning up the heat heading into 2026. Finishing their sixth record and setting their sights beyond the Midwest, their sound fuses the grit of the blues, the swagger of rockabilly, and the soul of rock & roll. A 70s sound on 60s money — pure and unapologetic.

Welcome
Capitol City Baggers!
Join us for a fun Cornhole Tournament with Capitol City Baggers while enjoying live music at Norwalk Music Festival.
Norwalk Music Fest started in 2018 with the first Norwalk Hometown Pride committee — a Keep Iowa Beautiful initiative — created to replace the Jazz in July event that had been discontinued. Norwalk loves music and has no shortage of talent, so we started with local musicians and have grown every year since. We're proud to celebrate Central Iowa artists on Labor Day weekend.
