WE ARE SO IN MOTION! The Cali return of Objective for The Untz Festival 2026!
We are taking over the Wormhole stage with the return of 2TALL, along with the Untz debuts of Noise Fleet and Matches. Big love to all the PNW homies on this!
It’s always encouraging and exciting to see the underground talent they showcase at this event. This year’s curation feels especially special, highlighting artists who have carved and are still carving their own paths in the industry.
Anyways…see you again on one of our favorite sounding stages in the festival circuit!
@theuntzfestival year 2 officially in the books 🤝 The whole crew really pulled up and raged with us Sunday! We’ve been working all winter to build out a crazy catalog for this one. Thank you for some crazy momentum, time to lock back in the studio. Shoutout @objectivecollective takeover.
Next appearance is May 22nd in Pdx with @gspacemusic . Then were back on the road to Arizona for @junejamaz ❤️
30 years of Shady Rest is right around the corner.
Lineup’s coming soon.
Most of you already know this, but Shady was never just about the music. That came later. It’s the “relaxing” after a day at OCF, staying up late cracking jokes under the stars, the familiar faces camping next to you each year.
And now, the entertainment side has found its place. Over the past few years it’s grown into something truly special over here.
We spent time on this one. Feels right for where things are at.
The deadline for all applications has been extended to Thursday, March 19th at 4pm. We know life gets busy, so we wanted to give everyone one last chance to get their information submitted.
The SRC26 team is looking forward to diving into the submissions and starting to shape the 2026 experience.
While we won’t be able to select everyone, it’s been really encouraging to see just how much talent exists in this community. You can expect to hear from the coordinator for your category by early April letting you know whether or not you’ve been selected.
General Admission Passes Are Now Available.
We are celebrating 30 years of Shady Rest this season. Three decades of camping, music, and community under the forest canopy we have all come to love. A lot has changed since the early days, but the spirit and strength of the community has only grown.
This year we are introducing tiered ticketing. Each tier sells out before the next begins, so the earlier you grab a pass, the better the price.
Early support helps shape the scale of what we are able to build each year. If you plan to join us, now is a great time to lock in your pass.
If you want full access at Shady Rest Campground, the move is camping with us. It supports the land, the staff, and the community, and you’ll have access for the duration of your stay.
Quick heads up for everyone else, we’ve updated our Entertainment Pass rules. These passes are for evening entry only and they’re intended for folks staying at neighboring campgrounds who want to come over for the music at night. They are not for daytime visitors, and there is no entertainment parking available.
Entry starts at 6 PM, your pass is good through the last act of the night, and entry and re entry end at 2 AM. We’ll have security at all entry points and wristbands will be checked throughout the grounds, so please keep yours on you. If someone is visibly intoxicated they may be denied entry, and any trespassing, property damage, or abusive behavior toward staff, security, or other guests will result in removal.
Note for Darling’s Reunion members, these changes do not apply to you and full bridge access remains.
