Roundup MusicFest is a Stampede-week rock festival produced by 51 North Productions, the same team behind Oxford Stomp. The traditional format is a single Wednesday night on the island’s main stage; 2026 expands to two nights for the first time. The event is 18 and over with photo ID required, cashless, rain or shine, with no parking on site. The official after party runs at the Wildhorse Saloon.

Headliners over the years have included The Offspring, Goo Goo Dolls, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, Def Leppard, Tom Cochrane and The Strumbellas. The 2026 edition pairs Billy Idol, David Lee Roth, Sloan and Toque on night one with Foster The People, Grouplove, The New Pornographers and The Royal Foundry on night two. A combo pass bundling Roundup with Oxford Stomp is also sold each year.
