Puerto Rican artist Young Miko will perform Sunday, Aug. 2, at Hinterland Music Festival 2026 in Saint Charles, Iowa. Kali Uchis, Wet Leg, Suki Waterhouse and other artists are also scheduled for the same day.
Young Miko is coming to Iowa as part of the Sunday lineup for Hinterland Music Festival 2026, one of the state’s best-known summer music festivals.
The festival is scheduled for Thursday, July 30, through Sunday, Aug. 2, in Saint Charles, Iowa. The 2026 lineup lists KATSEYE, Lorde, Mumford & Sons and Kali Uchis as the main names across the four days.
Young Miko’s spot on the Sunday bill gives the final day of the festival a direct link to Latin urban music, within a lineup headlined by Kali Uchis.
Young Miko is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 2
Young Miko is scheduled to perform Sunday, Aug. 2, at Hinterland Music Festival.
That day’s lineup includes Kali Uchis as the headliner, along with Young Miko, Geese, Wet Leg, Suki Waterhouse, Audrey Hobert, Samia, Haute & Freddy, Die Spitz, Gouge Away, Koo Koo and Jeffery Lewis.
Sunday will close the festival after three days led by KATSEYE, Lorde and Mumford & Sons on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The date places Young Miko on one of the most varied days of the weekend, with pop, R&B, indie, alternative rock and Latin music sharing the same festival field.
The Puerto Rican artist adds an urban voice to the lineup
Young Miko, from Añasco, Puerto Rico, has built her career across Latin urban music, Latin trap, reggaetón and pop.
Her artistic team describes her as a Puerto Rican singer and songwriter who has collaborated with artists including Bad Bunny, Karol G, Arcángel, Yandel, Jowell & Randy and Feid.
Her arrival at Hinterland connects the festival with a generation of listeners who follow Latin music through bilingual playlists, urban collaborations, social media and festival stages where Spanish is no longer treated as a side note.
In Iowa, her presence may also draw Latino and bilingual fans who rarely see Latin urban artists on major festival bills outside Chicago, Minneapolis or larger coastal markets.
Sunday will bring one of the festival’s strongest Latin music moments
Young Miko’s performance falls on the same day as Kali Uchis, the Colombian American artist whose bilingual catalog moves through pop, R&B, soul, reggaetón and Latin influences.
Together, the two artists give Sunday one of the clearest Latin music pairings on the 2026 Hinterland lineup.
Hinterland has long been associated with indie, folk, Americana and alternative pop. The 2026 lineup keeps part of that identity, while adding names that broaden the festival toward younger, global and bilingual audiences.
For Latino fans in Iowa, Aug. 2 carries a specific draw: two artists with Latin roots on the same day at a rural Midwest festival.
Hinterland will take place in Saint Charles
Hinterland Music Festival 2026 will take place in Saint Charles, Iowa, south of Des Moines.
The festival is scheduled for July 30 through Aug. 2 and is presented as a music event in the Iowa countryside.
The official festival website says tickets are on sale. Ticket options include single-day passes, multi-day passes, camping, parking and shuttle options.
Tickets, parking, the Des Moines shuttle and camping are handled separately. The festival also states that children 10 and under can enter free with a ticketed adult.
Organizers note that artists are subject to change or cancellation.
Tickets, camping and transportation are part of the plan
For fans traveling from Des Moines, West Des Moines, Ames, Marshalltown, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids or the Quad Cities, Sunday, Aug. 2, will require planning ahead.
Hinterland sells one-day tickets and multi-day passes. The festival also offers camping and parking options, but those access options are not always included with general admission.
The festival also lists a Des Moines shuttle as a separate option for attendees who do not want to drive to Saint Charles.
Fans planning to attend only the Young Miko and Kali Uchis date should check whether they need a Sunday ticket, a one-day parking pass or shuttle transportation from Des Moines.
A rare Iowa stop for Latin urban music fans
Young Miko’s presence at Hinterland does not turn the festival into a Latin music festival, but it does add a rare Iowa stop for fans of Latin urban music.
Many major Latin urban tours tend to focus on larger markets. A festival set in Saint Charles gives fans in Iowa and the Midwest a closer option.
Sunday’s lineup also lets Young Miko fans see Kali Uchis on the same day. For listeners who follow both artists, Aug. 2 is one of the strongest dates of the weekend.
Young Miko is scheduled to perform Sunday, Aug. 2, at Hinterland Music Festival 2026 in Saint Charles, Iowa. Tickets, camping, parking and shuttle options are available through the festival’s official website.
