Hogs for the Cause 2026

Hogs for the Cause has announced that a limited number of single-day tickets are available for its annual fundraising event, scheduled for April 10 – 11 at the UNO Lakefront Arena Festival Grounds. Tickets for the Friday night event start at $50 + fees, while Saturday tickets start at $70 + fees. Single-day Friday VIP tickets are $225 + fees, single-day Saturday VIP tickets are $260 + fees. Tickets can be purchased at www.hogsfest.org. 

Hogs organizers have put together an impressive lineup of musical acts from a current #1 album chart-topper to rising stars bringing soul, blues, and the best in Southern rock to the three stages. 

“This year’s lineup is unreal—the kind of music that makes Hogs what it is,” said Becker Hall, co-founder and CEO of Hogs for the Cause. “The incredible talent that is joining us is a huge draw to our event, and we anticipate it selling out before doors open on April 10th.”

“Every ticket helps raise millions of dollars for families battling pediatric brain cancer,” said Rene Louapre, co-founder and COO of Hogs. “This year, we expected to break more records on attendance and fundraising, but none of it would be possible without the support of the community and sponsors. We are grateful for every effort put forth in support of our mission.”

In addition to single-day tickets, two-day tickets, including General Admission, Boss Hog VIP, Goin’ Ham Super VIP, and Judge Passes, are available online at HogsFest.org.

The 2026 event sponsors include Manning Family Children’s, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Miller High Life, Phelps, Irpino Avin Hawkins, Blue Plate Real Mayonnaise, Gulf Coast Bank & Trust Company, La Vielle Ferme, and, new this year, NewAge Products.
