Bethlehem, Lehigh Valley, PA. – April 30, 2026 – The Liberty High School Marketing Musikfest class is proud to announce they have selected three upcoming artists to perform at Musikfest 2026.
Held every summer in Bethlehem, Musikfest is the largest open-gated music festival in the country and features hundreds of free performances alongside headlining artists.
Liberty High School’s artists include three performers representing different genres—country singer and songwriter Dillon Warnek, alternative rock band Coquettish and indie artist Lydia Von Hof. All three will perform at the Plaza Tropical Stage on Saturday, August 1, 2026.
Dillon Warnek is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter and musician originally from the Pacific Northwest. Dillon Warnek has established himself as one of Nashville’s most compelling songwriters. His music blends the grit of working-class narratives with piano-driven melodies, earning high praise from peers and critics alike for its dark humor and raw honesty.
Coquettish is an electrifying trio from New Jersey redefining the edges of alternative rock. With Michael O’Keefe on guitar and vocals, Bryanna Rosario on bass and Matteo Conn on percussion, the band blends elements of psychedelic rock, grunge, punk and alt-rock into a sound that’s both nostalgic and fiercely current.
Last but not least, Lydia von Hof is an emerging indie artist based in New York. Her music explores the indie world, including folk, rock, pop and occasionally country. Her songwriting invites audiences into a wide range of themes.
The Liberty High School Marketing Musikfest class is very excited to see our three upcoming artists perform this summer at Musikfest.

About the Liberty High School Marketing Musikfest class
The Marketing Musikfest class is a marketing/business class at Liberty High School, Bethlehem, PA.

This year, the class split into three groups and selected three artists to play at this year’s Musikfest. The class is sponsored by ArtsQuest, and it has been very lucky to have many representatives from the organization visit the school and talk about how they perform their job, which helps us do ours.
