St. Louis, MO, October 20, 2026 —
The MATI Music Festival and Conference in St. Louis is changing its format for next year’s event, scheduled for July 15-18. The changes include adding two venues and replacing weekend passes with tickets for individual shows at specific venues.
Powell Hall and The Sheldon Concert Hall are the new venues named for the event. Performances at select indoor venues will require tickets, while the festival will continue to offer free outdoor entertainment and community activities.
The revised ticket approach means attendees will buy admission for particular shows rather than a weekend pass, according to the information provided about the format change. It does not specify which indoor performances will require tickets or identify the shows that will be available at each venue.
Details about ticket prices, when tickets will go on sale, the performance lineup and the locations of the outdoor activities were not provided. The event’s year was also not specified; the schedule was given as July 15-18 next year.
The announced changes describe a mix of ticketed indoor performances and free outdoor programming. Further information about the festival’s schedule and ticketing arrangements was not included.
