"What's more Wisconsin than pull tabs?" You got us there, Eaux Claires. Festival organizers are inviting locals to The 410 Bar (410 Galloway St., Eau Claire) next week, where the lineup for this year's summer festival will be announced.

At 7pm on Wednesday, Feb. 11, Chippewa Vallians will get first dibs on Eaux Claires artist info. Instead of a traditional lineup announcement, organizers are doing things with a Midwestern twist: The full lineup for the 2026 festival will be unveiled via Lucky 22's Pull Tabs.

Come on down, try your luck, and – if you pull a winning tab – you'll be the one to reveal a featured artist part of this year's Eaux Claires. The unique, interactive announcement pretty much guarantees a night full of excitement and surprises.

The lineup event will also feature live music from Eau Claire's own electronic musician sloslylove and country jam ensemble The Golden Band; both acts will be co-presented by Eaux Claires and local radio show Farewell Transmission Radio. (Does this duo – each embodying totally different genres – reveal a taste of what's to come?)

This 21-plus event – free to attend by RSVPing – will be officiated by notable umpires Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) and Asher Weisberg, an Eaux Claires event organizer.
