Short version: A Reddit user on r/shakyknees stirred up the community with a post saying the lineup drops next week, and fans are already throwing out wishlists and predictions.
What happened
– OP (u/Lopsided-Ebb3587) posted “LINEUP NEXT WEEK ITS OFFICIAL!!!” on r/shakyknees (Feb 19, 2026). The post has 41 upvotes and 28 comments. No official lineup link was posted in the thread — it looks like early hype/insider chatter rather than a confirmed bill.
Fan reactions (highlights)
– CAndrewK: “I just spent $1000 on tame impala and bought a new phone… this is gonna have to wait” — fans are already budgeting (and cursing) for big-ticket acts.
– Academic_Importance1: “Excited. Hopefully we have some hard hitters” — general anticipation for headline names.
– ItsMeSnake11: “Please let iDKHOW be there😭” — indie and emo fans chiming in.
– Soft-Pop-2449: Wishlist includes Dexter and the Moonrocks, Wunderhorse, The Paradox, and Turnstile.
– Neat-Chocolate560: “Really hoping for Japanese Breakfast!” — another popular pick among indie-heads.
– modestunitedscrap88: “SO HYPED!!! manifesting modest mouse 🤘🤘” — classic festival dreamer energy.
– PRguy82 asked for verification: “Where’d you hear as official? I didn’t see anything in email, etc.” — fair reminder to wait for official channels.
What to expect next
– If the lineup truly drops next week, official channels (Shaky Knees website, socials, and ticketing partners) will post the bill and any tiered ticket info. Watch for early-bird or payment-plan windows.
– Until confirmed, treat Reddit posts like credible fan rumor — fun to speculate, but don’t spend money until you see a verified announcement.
Why it matters
– Shaky Knees has a history of mixing indie, alt-rock, and nostalgic headliners — a big lineup could drive major ticket demand and resales.
– For folks planning travel and camping, an early heads-up on possible dates helps lock in plans (flights, hotels, rideshares).
Bottom line
The Shaky Knees subreddit is buzzing ahead of a possible official lineup next week. Lots of wishlists and cautious optimism — stay tuned to official festival channels before committing cash.
