Headliner Revealed For 2026 Greenwich Town Party

GREENWICH, CT — The Greenwich Town Party this week announced the musical acts for the Main Stage at this year's Greenwich Town Party.

Dave Matthews and fellow Dave Matthews Band member and guitarist, Tim Reynolds, will headline the popular event scheduled for May 23 at Roger Sherman Baldwin Park kicks off Memorial Day Weekend.

Joining the acoustic duo will be John Fogerty, the leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival and GTP favorites, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

For the second year, the Main Stage will host a performance for children, with the Sesame Street live production "Elmo's Got The Moves."

The Town Stage will showcase local artists. Organizers said the lineup will be announced at a later date.

Matthews and Reynolds first met more than 35 years ago in Charlottesville, Va., and have been collaborating since. Reynolds officially joined DMB as a full-time member in 2008.

Their appearance in Greenwich will offer fans an intimate, up close and rare performance. The duo plays in Mexico each year at a small venue, usually in January or February. Otherwise, the full band tours during the summer and fall.

DMB has sold a collective 38 million units since the 1994 release of its major label debut, "Under the Table and Dreaming."

The band became the first musical group in history to have seven consecutive studio albums debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Reynolds founded the dynamic electric power trio TR3 (Tim Reynolds Trio) and has also released a series of albums.

Fogerty helped shape the sound of American music with Creedence Clearwater Revival. He is in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, earned the BMI Icon Award, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a special honor for his song "Centerfield," making him the only musician ever honored by the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Classics from Fogerty include hits such as "Proud Mary," "Fortunate Son," "Born on the Bayou," "Bad Moon Rising," and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain," and more.

New Orleans-based Preservation Hall Jazz Band has become a staple at the GTP. The band was founded in the 1960s and has showcased the flavor of Jazz and flavor of New Orleans culture for decades, sharing festival stages with acts like Stevie Wonder, Elvis Costello, Grateful Dead, and recently with Beck, The Foo Fighters, My Morning Jacket, and the Black Keys.

"Elmo’s Got The Moves" is a brand-new Sesame Street live performance featuring Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Cookie Monster, and their Sesame Street friends, singing and dancing to some of Sesame Streets' greatest hits.

This year will mark the 15th anniversary of the GTP. The event will once again offer local food favorites, and family fun.
