DEERFEST 2026 February 7, 2026 — The Atria DEERFEST returns on February 7, 2026, delivering a premier night of rock ‘n’ roll in an intimate bar setting. Experience a theatre-caliber concert up close, featuring a powerhouse lineup: * The Jailbirds * Eddy & The Dirty Boys * Avalon Stone * Revive The Rose Launched in 2024, DEERFEST was created in tribute to the now-legendary moment in February 2019 when a deer unexpectedly burst through the window of The Atria and landed on the venue’s stage—a surreal event that quickly became a local story of resilience, humour, and community spirit. What began as a one-off celebration has since grown into an annual showcase of top-tier rock talent. Tickets available now. Don’t miss one of the region’s most unique and energetic live music events. DEERFEST isn’t just about the music—it's about giving back. This year, attendees can support the Durham Humane Society directly through a ticket add-on donation when purchasing admission. Every contribution helps provide shelter, care, and second chances for animals in need.
