ACL 2026: LeTrainiump

 Saturday at 2pm on the Beatbox stage. A last minute addition. Per this website:

LeTrainiump is an up-and-coming pop singer/songwriter from Mamou, Louisiana who is capturing the Gulf South’s musical imagination through his live performances and recordings...LeTrainiump, born LeTrainiump Richard, was influenced early on by diverse sounds including the synthesizers in “Reading Rainbow,” Michael Jackson, neighborhood zydeco from the likes of Keith Frank and Chris Ardoin, and his mom’s classic R&B, such as Luther VanDross’s classic “Dance with Your Father.”

 "Control" is catchy.

This is one of his latest releases.

ACL 2026: VINNY

Sunday at 12:45pm.  It looks like Rubio cancelled as well.  This is the replacement. The Spotify bio says:

Vincenzo Lo Nardo, also known as VINNY, born in 1999, is an Italian DJ and producer. He, particularly passionate about the Latin music scene, decided to pursue a career as a DJ...In 2024 he created a new format on TikTok with A-Clark which consists of remixing the greatest hits of Italian music in an Afro House key.

1.2Million monthly listeners on Spotify.

It looks like most of the videos are of him and A-Clark. I don't know if it's just him solo for this.

"Caruso" has 2M streams on Youtube.

This is their most streamed song.
