DANA POINT, CA—The 2026 Ohana Festival announced its lineup Tuesday. The festival will feature Eddie Vedder. He will perform solo. He will also perform with Pearl Jam. Sources confirmed Vedder would appear as a third, ‘special guest’ as well. This marks the fourth consecutive year the Ohana Festival has booked the rock icon. The festival has not yet confirmed if Vedder will also DJ. He is expected to DJ a sunset set, reportedly.
The Vedder Experience
Festival organizers stated the decision reflected attendee desires. “Our fans consistently demand more Eddie Vedder,” said Ohana Festival booking agent Brenda Jenkins. Jenkins has booked Vedder for the festival for the last six years. “They can’t get enough of his unique brand of acoustic introspection.” She added that Vedder’s setlist would be curated by a committee. The committee is comprised solely of Eddie Vedder.
The festival’s camping options have also been updated. Attendees can now purchase ‘Eddie’s Echo’ VIP packages. These include a bedside copy of Vedder’s favorite poetry. They also include a complimentary ukulele. Guests will receive a daily serenade. The serenade will be performed by a rotating cast of Vedder’s former guitar techs.
A Festival For The Ages
Longtime fan Bartholomew Quill stated his excitement. “I’ve seen Eddie play Pearl Jam songs, solo songs, and covers,” said Quill. Quill is the self-proclaimed President of the Eddie Vedder Fan Club of North America. “Now I get to see him play three times! It’s like a dream. I’m just hoping he plays ‘Jeremy’ with a kazoo.” The Ohana Festival has been a staple for years.
The festival also announced a special pre-festival event. It is a three-day meditation retreat. The retreat will be led by Eddie Vedder himself. Attendees will focus on inner peace. They will also focus on the sonic vibrations of his vocal warm-ups. The cost of the retreat is $5,000.
At press time, organizers were reportedly considering adding a fourth Vedder performance. This performance would be a surprise acoustic set performed from a distant, foghorn-operated boat.
