New Grass Revival for sure, all the regulars and some thing new. How about Three Ring Circle, or The New Hip, Clair Lynch, James Taylor?
I’m currently listening to a wonderful set from the 88 TBF and thinking about how much fun it would be to get Little Feat back. Billy Payne was a wonderful addition to the LoS shows this summer. Imagine how much fun he’d be with his band.
I have heard some of James Taylor new stuff and it is off the charts good. Caught my ear from the first note. :medal
It would be great to hear him again.
Oh yeah, Jackie Greene too! 
Avett Brothers?
This FESTIVVVAAALLL!!! needs some sibling BACON! :bacon
Just a thought… :pickin
Auntie Hope :festivarian2 :green
Ha! Thought you meant Tim and Molly…! :lol :lol
Which would be awesome!
:cheers
So many wonderful suggestions… I would also recommend Hot Tuna, Stringcheese, Mark Knopfler and Railroad Earth. I actually discovered sCI and RRE at previous TBFs.
I’d be all in for a super secret guest for the 40th with no previous announcement.
Nobody would know until they announced on stage that day… Eric Clapton! :thumbsup
Oh heck…keep the whole lineup secret, and let us reverse engineer it from what we can find on the Internet. It’ll keep us entertained until we pick up the programs that week.
IMAGINE THE ENERGY THAT WOULD PRODUCE FOR PRE-FEST!!! :medal
Sure would put the solar power rigs to shame. 
Auntie Hope :festivarian2 :green
And the official program would be a 16 page bound book of blank pages, issued with crayons so you could fill it in as the concerts progress.
As you wish.
I seriously LOVE this idea
Are you kidding! I would have an ulcer by June. :lol
For the record…this isn’t going to happen. :lol
But it does sound fun.
Good maybe we could just do a process of elimination and no line up leak…hummmm :rolleyes
We will make you talk :flower We have our ways :evil
Dweezel.
Paul Simon!!!
His sound is so perfect for Telluride and he’s on a roll right now. That tour he did last year was killer. I think the folks at Planet Bluegrass should really consider him as one of the big headliners this year. :thumbsup
While I’m pretty sure the show is already pretty set in terms of “big headliners” (I don’t know for sure, I guess), I totally agree that a Paul Simon announcement would be the best Christmas present ever.
Lindi Ortega!!!
