With daily schedules now unveiled and single-day passes officially on sale, Somewhere Festival has announced the second wave of artists joining its September 25th-26th return to downtown Wichita, adding acclaimed country artists ERNEST, Cooper Alan, and Logan Mize, electronic favorites Eli & Fur, powerhouse vocalist Kaleena Zanders, rising artists Just Jayne and Jaelen Johnston, dance collective ME N Ü, and Country Night to an already expansive lineup spanning country, electronic, indie, hip-hop, soul, singer-songwriter, and local music.

Produced by Movement Musick in partnership with Breakaway, Somewhere Festival has quickly established itself as one of the Midwest’s most distinctive emerging music events, bringing together nationally recognized artists, emerging talent, and Wichita’s creative community for two days of live music, art, food, immersive experiences, and community engagement throughout downtown Wichita.

With the daily lineups now confirmed, fans can begin planning their festival weekend. Friday, September 25th will feature performances from Bailey Zimmerman, DJ Diesel (Shaquille O’Neal), Ian Munsick, Evan Honer, ME N Ü, Night Tales (Presenting CLR), and more. Saturday, September 26 will be headlined by ERNEST, Two Friends, Bob Moses (Club Set), Cooper Alan, Eli & Fur, Kaleena Zanders, Cure for Paranoia, and additional artists across multiple stages throughout downtown Wichita.

The newly announced artists further expand Somewhere’s commitment to musical discovery while continuing to showcase the breadth of today’s music landscape. Across the weekend, approximately 25 local artists are expected to perform, with Jaelen Johnston and Logan Mize among the festival’s featured local performers. That local presence remains central to Somewhere’s mission, creating opportunities for emerging artists to share stages and audiences with established national acts.
