TORONTO, ON (February 11, 2026) – Republic Live, producers of the internationally acclaimed and multi-award-winning Boots and Hearts Music Festival, announce today that global superstars Jonas Brothers will make their first-ever country music festival debut as Friday night headliners for the August 7–9 weekend in Ontario at Burl’s Creek Event Grounds.
The multi-Platinum, GRAMMY-nominated Jonas Brothers bring their high-energy pop-rock show to Burl’s Creek Event Grounds, marking a major cultural moment for Boots and Hearts as the festival celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. With multiple #1 albums, decades of chart-topping hits, and a stadium-selling fanbase, their addition signals a bold evolution of Canada’s largest country music and camping festival. Known for cross-genre collaborations, including with country artists, and a live show packed with nostalgic hits across generations, the Jonas Brothers help deliver three days of non-stop music and unforgettable moments.
The Jonas Brothers join a powerhouse weekend lineup including Saturday night headliners, The Chicks (August 8), the GRAMMY and CMA Award-winning icons whose influence spans generations, and Sunday night headliners Rascal Flatts (August 9), the ACM Award-winning country hitmakers behind some of the genre’s most enduring anthems.
The 2026 lineup also features a dynamic mix of chart-topping stars and breakout artists shaping today’s country and crossover sound, including Russell Dickerson, Tucker Wetmore, Jessie Murph, Sam Barber, Dasha, Max McNown, Waylon Wyatt, The Jack Wharff Band, Kaitlin Butts, Ashley Cooke, and Emily Anne Roberts.
While the Jonas Brothers’ appearance marks a milestone moment, their presence also reflects country music’s evolving landscape. The band recently collaborated with Russell Dickerson, and their past associations with fellow Boots and Hearts artists, Rascal Flatts and Ashley Cooke, have further connected their sound to the modern country ecosystem.
Staying true to its roots, Boots and Hearts will continue to spotlight Canadian hit makers throughout the weekend, with Brett Kissel, James Barker Band, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, and the best in new Canadian talent like Thelma & James, Savannah Jade, Tony Stevens, Mitch Zorn, and School House.
“Country music continues to grow by reaching new audiences, and many of the artists on this lineup helped lead that growth by creating music that connects across generations and genres. The Jonas Brothers have embraced cross-genre collaboration in the country space, while artists like The Chicks and Rascal Flatts helped open the door for the genre’s mainstream and crossover success,” shares Brooke Dunford, Director of Talent Buying & Business Development for Republic Live. “Bringing them together reflects how fans are consuming music today and we're proud to follow that creative momentum at Boots and Hearts ."
With the addition of the Jonas Brothers, Boots and Hearts delivers a rare weekend bringing together multiple arena and stadium-level live acts on one festival bill - reinforcing its reputation as a must-attend destination for unforgettable, large-scale performances.
