Hannah Montana’s 20th Anniversary special event coming in 2026
Miley Cyrus has announced plans to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana in 2026 with a special event. During a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s TikTok Radio, she said, “I want to design something really, really special for it because it really was the beginning of all of this that now sits here today.” She mentioned possible live performances, re-recorded songs, exclusive merchandise, and fan meet-and-greets.
The news sparked a wave of online excitement, amplified by a viral post on X (formerly Twitter) from fan account Miley Nation (@MileyNation13) that read, “HANNAH MONTANA: 20TH ANNIVERSARY. 2026.” Posted on August 7, 2025, the post garnered over 14 million views and 2,400 replies, adding momentum to the growing anticipation around the milestone.
Premiering in March 2006, Hannah Montana ran until January 2011 and followed Miley Stewart, a teenager living a double life as global pop star Hannah Montana. The Disney Channel series starred Miley Cyrus, Emily Osment, Mitchel Musso, and Billy Ray Cyrus. It led to chart-topping albums, a feature film, and a sold-out concert tour.
Cyrus reflected on the show’s legacy, stating, “Without Hannah, there really wouldn’t be this kind of… this me.” She added, “It’s looked at as this sense of nostalgia or something that you have from your childhood… So that’s exciting to get to celebrate that.”
Disney has not confirmed its involvement, but the anniversary event aligns with the upcoming 2026 launch of the unified Disney+ and Hulu platform.
In 2024, Cyrus became the youngest recipient of the Disney Legend award. During her acceptance speech, she said, “I stand here still proud to have been Hannah Montana,” dedicating the honor to the character and her fans.
