Cosmic Kinection just dropped its final 2026 lineup and it’s a genre-hopping vibe — bass, funk, live bands, and plenty of wellness and arts programming.
The 4-day festival runs June 2–7 at Astral Valley (about 45 minutes south of St. Louis, MO). Headliners and top-billed names include OPIUO, Zingara, Moontricks, Wreckno, Ayla Nereo, Split Lip Rayfield, SaveJ, High Step Society and Grateful Dub, plus a long undercard full of local and regional favorites.
- Top takeaways: Zingara getting a headline slot surprised and excited a lot of fans, Split Lip Rayfield’s placement raised some eyebrows, and a few community members noted Phoenix is further down the bill than expected.
- Festival vibe: music, wellness, visionary art, yoga, workshops, performing arts and community camping across spring-fed swimming holes and hiking trails.
- Logistics: 4 stages, bonfire jams, 7+ activity areas and 100+ workshops for all ages on 700+ acres. Pre-fest events and aerial/fire/dance shows are also listed on the poster.
If you’re into late-spring festivals that mix strong live music with wellness and community programming, this one’s worth a look. Tickets and more details are being handled through the festival partners — see Rekinection.com and AstralValley.com for official info and passes.
