ANNOUNCING
10,000 Maniacs 45th Anniversary Concert and Arts Festival
Jamestown, NY - Sep. 3-5, 2026
We've been ruminating on how best to celebrate 45 years of 10,000 Maniacs and are excited to announce a weekend-long festival in our hometown from September 3-5, 2026, culminating with a headline concert on Saturday at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts in Jamestown, NY.
The headline concert will be the crown jewel in a multi-day arts festival featuring live performances, archival exhibitions, and community events. The festival will highlight the band's artistic spirit and cultural legacy, bringing together musicians, artists, activists, fans, local businesses, and community organizations for a weekend of programming that honors the intersection of art, labor, history, and education.
Events include:
- Maniacs 45: An Archival Retrospective
- 10,000 Maniacs 45th Anniversary Concert Extravaganza
- Two V.I.P. Event Upgrades
- and so much more
All proceeds from the weekend will benefit the Maniacs’ three scholarship funds at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation: the Robert Buck Memorial Scholarship, the Aaron Perez Media Arts Award, and the Barbara Mae Gustafson & Bridget Mary Drew Scholarship Fund.
FAN PRE-SALE STARTS: WED, 6/17 at 12p ET.
Use access code: 10KM45
The festival is made possible by the generosity of local sponsors, Southern Chautauqua Federal Credit Union and UBS Financial Services.
