2026 marks three full decades since the Secretly label group was founded in Bloomington, IN, starting with Secretly Canadian and expanding over the years to include Jagjaguwar, Dead Oceans, and the Phoebe Bridgers-founded Saddest Factory Records. To mark the occasion, a three-night concert series has been announced for August 27–29 across three different Bloomington venues, with three Secretly artists playing each night.
Day 1 features performances from Magnolia & Johnson Electric Co., June Panic, and Early Day Miners; Day 2 stars Sharon Van Etten, Kevin Corby, and Jordan Patterson; and Day 3 will host Durand Jones & the Indications with Jensen McRae and Angela Autumn.



Three-day passes for the event go on sale here at 10am on Friday (April 24). A limited number of single-night tickets will be made available on May 29.
Secretly co-founder Ben Swanson says in a press release:
"Some of the most rewarding moments of the last 30 years have been with our artists, colleagues and community in a single room. I couldn’t be more stoked to celebrate our anniversary with old friends and new in the town we love. Our beloved Bill Fay said it best: Life is People."
Though they didn't officially join the Secretly family until 2013, Jagjaguwar are also celebrating their 30th anniversary with a series of reissues of early albums in the label's back catalog, including Drunk's 1996 LP A Derby Spiritual (vinyl out now), The Union of a Man and a Woman's The Sound of The Union of a Man and a Woman and South's self-titled LP (both from 1998), and Manishevitz's Grammar Bell and the All Fell Down from 1999.
