Happy Winter Solstice Eve! As has been the tradition for many years, we’re leaking the initial TBF lineup to you Forumvarians before we share it anywhere else. It’s shaping up to be another magical Summer Solstice weekend at 8,750’…
Brandi Carlile
Sam Bush Band
Kacey Musgraves
Jim James (Full Band)
Gregory Alan Isakov
Telluride House Band featuring Sam, Béla, Jerry, Edgar, Bryan & Stuart
Couldn’t agree more about Billy Strings he truly is “the scene”, and he is continually blowing up, selling out shows, and being a massively entertaining show thats continually fresh. Billy is the Rockstar of Bluegrass.
So exciting; the Flecktones are worth price of admission! In Mexico, there were epic sets from all but I was completely blown away by RRE and Stringdusters. So happy RRE is back, and please please bring Stringdusters! And yes indeed, Billy Strings had us leaping off the ground. Seems like it would be grave oversight not to have him present.
Oh my, oh my! Brandi Carlile AND Kacey Musgraves at TBF?! My heart is happy. This is going to make Kacey’s sold-out Red Rocks show (for the Wed after TBF) even sweeter. Cannot wait!!
As always, Planet Bluegrass, y’all continue to amaze me each year with the impressive lineups. Thanks for keeping us coming back year after year. :flower
They did last time around and it was a far more face melting show than on their main stage (which was very good in its own right); they definitely went into a different “space” at the SOH.
Curious if anyone knows of a recording for that nightgrass show? … have kept an eye open ever since, but never found anything
Great start to the lineup! Would love to see the Lil Smokies, Stringdusters and Billy Strings! Telluride is not quite the same without a good Dusting at the Palm!
For a little Colorado flave, the band Meadow Mountain might be a good daytime band. Check out their cd from late last year. Up and coming. Won Rockygrass in 2017 and keep getting better
Could someone share with me the timeline as to when the lineup is released? The initial list is released on Winter Solstice. But then what happens? When is the “headliner” announced? And, by the way, how does one define “the headliner”? Is it the band that plays on a particular night? (As you can likely surmise, I am a total TBF noob!) Thanks in advance…
They will probably make another line-up announcement sometime in the next couple months, adding probably 7-10 more acts to the list. I’d say 2-3 of the “headliners” are already on the list. Each night the last band or two playing is who I’d say the headliner will be. But for me personally usually my favorite acts play during the day. The dailly schedule probably won’t be released till late April. And sometime in March the nightgrass shows and lottery for tickets will happen. I’d guess that in the upcoming line-up announcement there will be a big name or two dropped.
