"From global superstars to fan-favorite icons, we're excited to once again deliver an unmatched live and streaming experience that reaches millions of fans everywhere—whether they're in the arena, listening across our stations nationwide or watching on Disney+ and Hulu."
Capital One's Amit Desai, senior director of brand partnerships, added that the company aims to give cardholders premium access to the event.

The festival spans two full nights and draws from multiple genres, with the 2026 lineup mixing global pop acts, country artists, hip-hop performers, and rock bands. BTS, the South Korean group, remains one of the most commercially dominant acts in the world. Their inclusion alongside American artists like Kenny Chesney and Cardi B reflects the festival's longstanding effort to program across audiences.
