Eclipse Fest 3 Returns to Lafayette: A May 2026 Gathering at Feed N Seed

Eclipse Fest is heading into its third year, growing each time into a celebration of community and evolution. It began with no connections, no experience, and no clear plan—just a passion to give the underdog a chance back in 2024. That spirit has always driven the festival, serving as a platform for talent that might otherwise go unnoticed and offering the scene fresh sounds it deserves. What started as a small dream has now drawn participation from across Louisiana and interest from bands nationwide. 

In 2026, a new vision is shaping Eclipse Fest, with alternative music and its unique aesthetic at the core. This year’s lineup features 14 bands over two days, plus a special guest from New York. Pre-sale tickets are $10 each / $15 at the door / or for a 2-day bundle, it's $25. More info can be found here.

Day 1 welcomes back Double Knockout, HolleeStar, and Grey Areas, alongside Playing The Hero, Sick At Heart, Silvercapbaby, and Kismet—covering metal, emo/pop-punk, and indie/alternative for an eclectic day of music. 

Day 2 expands the sound, with returning acts Phantum Sun, Jean Claude Seagal, and Goodbye Academy joined by Carnelian, Elle H., Belle Grove, and New York’s The Amatory Murder—bringing together grunge, alternative, emo, funk, and industrial influences for a dynamic close to the festival. 

The festival kicks off May 15th and 16th at Feed N Seed in Lafayette. Stay tuned to Eclipse Fest’s Facebook, follow-up articles, interviews, and band socials for all the details. Follow along as the story unfolds—a celebration of community and music, inspired by hope and bold optimism.
