Sing Us Home Festival returns to Manayunk with Dave Hause and guests

Just northwest of Philadelphia, USA, lies a bustling suburban community alongside the Schuylkill River that surrenders to the power of rock and roll beginning Friday evening, May 1, 2026, and running through Sunday, May 3. Manayunk – a Lenape Native American word that translates to ‘place where we drink’ – is home to almost 6,700 residents, and Manayunk’s Venice Island will once again host musician Dave Hause’s ‘Sing Us Home’ festival, now in its 4th year.

Dave Hause is a Philadelphia-area native, while brother and bandmate Tim still calls the area home. The ties run deep. Friday night starts as a band-fan reunion of sorts, with the Hause Family Campfire featuring Ted Leo, Dave Hause, Will Hoge, and Jenny Owen Youngs headlining, with support from Moustapha Noumbissi and Apes of the State. Saturday’s headliner will be The Menzingers, along with featured performers Dave Hause and the Mermaid and The Flatliners, with support from Emily Wolfe, Tim Hause and the Pre-Existing Conditions, Laney Lebo, and Big Boy Brass. Sunday closes the weekend with The Mountain Goats, Dave Hause and the Mermaid, and The Augustines, along with support from Church and State and Big Boy Brass.

Separately, there is an afterparty with Brian Fallon from Gaslight Anthem following the festival at the Ardmore Music Hall. The festival takes place rain or shine, so watch the weather forecast and dress accordingly!
