956 Music Fest Postponed to April 2027, Expands to Two-Day Event in Mercedes

The 956 Music Fest in Mercedes, Texas, has been postponed due to weather conditions and will now take place April 2–3, 2027, with organizers announcing that the festival will expand into a two-day event at no additional cost to existing ticket holders and vendors.

Originally scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2026, at the Mercedes Dome – Sports Complex & Walking Trail, the family-friendly festival was called off after recent rainfall left the grounds muddy and saturated, with additional rain expected throughout the week.

In an announcement shared on social media on Nov. 10, organizers said the decision was made with the safety of everyone involved as the top priority.

“Recent rain has left the grounds muddy and wet, with more rain expected throughout the week. These conditions affect the entire event, and the safety of our fans, vendors, performers, and crew comes first,” the announcement stated.

Siggno frontman Jesse Turner and Mercedes City Commissioner Armando Garcia provided additional details in a video message, explaining that the saturated grounds would not safely support the stage, parking areas, and other festival operations.

Turner said the decision was necessary after seeing the conditions firsthand, including the planned parking area, where vehicles could become stuck because of the wet ground.

“We got to postpone the event for April the 2nd and the 3rd,” Turner announced. “If you decide to stay with us for the 2nd and 3rd of April here in Mercedes, Texas, we’re gonna have a bigger lineup, and we’re gonna honor your $15, so you can join us.”

Turner also emphasized that organizers considered moving the festival to another location but ultimately decided against it because doing so could have created additional expenses for attendees, including parking and admission.

“We want to make this para toda la gente de Mercedes, toda la gente del Mágico Valle,” Turner said.

Existing Tickets and Vendor Spaces Will Be Honored

Despite the postponement, organizers are offering ticket holders two options.

Fans who purchased tickets through EventMania.com and would like a refund can request one through the same platform where they originally purchased their tickets.

Those who choose to keep their tickets will have them honored for both April 2 and April 3, 2027, at no additional cost.

That means existing $15 tickets will provide admission to the expanded two-day festival.

Vendors who already paid for their spaces through the City of Mercedes also have the option of requesting a refund by contacting City Hall.

Garcia confirmed that vendors who choose to remain part of the festival will have their original payments honored for both days.

“For those vendors that decide to stay with us, you all are guaranteed a two-day event for the price of one,” Garcia said.

Vendors seeking refunds can contact Mercedes City Hall at 956-565-3114, extension 128.

Bigger Lineup Planned for April 2027

The 956 Music Fest was originally scheduled to feature a lineup of popular Tejano and regional music acts, including headliners Siggno, Solido and Secretto, along with The Delta Boyz, Grupo Atento and additional performers.

With the move to April and the expansion into a two-day festival, Turner said organizers are already working with the City of Mercedes on plans for a bigger lineup.

The festival is designed to bring music, food and family entertainment to the Rio Grande Valley, celebrating the region’s music and community.

Turner closed the announcement by thanking fans and supporters for their patience and continued commitment to the event.

“Sometimes these things happen,” Turner said. “We’re postponing this for April the 2nd and the 3rd. … If you decide to stay, you’ll be part of the two-day event on April 2nd and the 3rd.”

The 956 Music Fest is now scheduled for April 2–3, 2027, in Mercedes, Texas. Additional details, including the expanded lineup and updated festival information, are expected as organizers continue preparations.
