Bad Day Music and Arts Festival expected to return to the Brooklyn Arts District
WILMINGTON, N.C. (WWAY) — Does Entertainment announce the return of BAD Day Music + Arts Festival to Wilmington’s Brooklyn Arts District on Saturday, November 14, 2026.
The festival will feature a lineup of acclaimed artists spanning roots rock, Americana, indie, and soul — including headliners The Revivalists and Grace Potter, with support from Ripe, Futurebirds, Lady Die, and an additional headliner and late night to be announced.
Presale access for tickets begins Thursday, Mar. 26.
The second annual edition of BAD Day will feature a larger main stage that will set the soundtrack with a dynamic mix of live performances
BAD Day isn’t all about music. Throughout the festival area, art will be celebrated around every corner: A village of arts & crafts vendors, live mural painting, large scale art, participatory art activations, and creative surprises abound.
BAD Day Music & Arts Festival is a family-friendly event and 100% free for children 12 and under. If the kids get a little restless, bored, or simply need a break from the music or sun to do kid stuff, bring them over to the BAD Kid Zone.
Later in the night, the energy shifts to an evening celebration across the street at the Brooklyn Arts Center. The evening celebration will be ticketed separately and feature a soundtrack that will have night owls dancing into the wee hours. All information on the evening celebration will be released in the coming months.
