Congratulations Cigarette Picnic for winning the 2026 Blue Ox Virtual Band Competition. You'll be able to catch their performance on the Backwoods Stage on Saturday June 27th (time tba).

Cigarette Picnic is a stripped down, sultry femme power trio focusing on rich harmonies and minimal instrumentation. They are based in Duluth, Minnesota and perform original music with bold flavor and smooth soul. The trio includes collaborative lyricism and composition from Ricky Francois (vocals), Madi Phyle (vocals) and Elsa Krantz (vocals, electric guitar).

Thank you to all who entered and to those who voted.
