Fogerty two years in a row? I find it unlikely. :huh
If so, I hope they turn the volume down or provide ear plugs. :evil
I just heard from a friend who found out a bar in a little town in Montana that the final announcement is actually John Denver. And that’s as reliable as it gets!
I’m still hoping for The Residents.
Hoping your source is reliable. Bring on M&S!!!
OK, how about a different kind of “Rumour”. :thumbsup
Open tour dates for June 20 and June 23 makes it possible (albeit unlikely).
This spring into summer will be the reunion RUMOURS tour.
Do you know who I’m talking about? :lol
That would be pretty cool, Tom, but I don’t think it will happen. They’re on the East Coast during Festival, and that would be quite the haul to Colorado and back.
Not so challenging. The first couple of years for Bonnaroo, it was the same weekend as TBF and a number of bands played both.
Just an FYI… M&S have are making an announcement later today about some upcoming shows. Perhaps today we find out that Telluride is one of them. Here’s a like to the webpage: http://gentlemenoftheroad.com/
Now I’m hearing that the other artist is Dewey Cox!
If he is I am getting to T-ride one way or the other even if I have to Walk…HARD
I don’t know about “rumors”, the only day they could conceivably be there is Thursday, but Craig did mention Thursday’s surprise would disappoint no one.
the following quote is from Ferg on 12/19/12
"And, while we still have a couple bands to figure out that we can’t announce Friday, we also have a couple bands that we very much know are coming, but we aren’t going to announce just yet.
Either of these two bands could sell out Red Rocks by themselves, so we’re kinda keeping them quiet for now until the few remaining tickets are gone, we’ve gone back and forth on this particular debate and I guess, by a whisker, we’ve decided to try and sell the single day tickets to those wanting to come to see “The Festival”, rather than a particular act.
I can say that no one buying a Thursday ticket will be disappointed and don’t let the scalpers get 'em! But not saying any more on that! Evil"
Well, today’s M&S Gentlemen of the Road announcement was thoroughly unhelpful in determining if they’re one of the unannounced bands – for better or worse.
I’m still holding out and stretching far for Paul Simon.
“we’ve decided to try and sell the single day tickets to those wanting to come to see “The Festival”, rather than a particular act.”
But how does this work if four-day tickets are already sold out? If someone wants to come only for these unannounced bands isn’t their only choice now to buy a Thursday or a Sunday ticket (but not a four-day festival ticket)?
It seems likely that if the bands are a big draw maybe those that already have Fri/Sat tickets would try and come early…would people really go all the way to Telluride for one show on a Thursday night?
Paul Simon would be siiiiiiiiiiiiick! Especially with the Punch Brothers going on tour with them 2 years ago. I just kind of hope for something different than M&S, for my own personal reasons, and for the fact that they are playing EVERYWHERE this summer at festivals it seems. And they have their own festival. Seems like it wouldnt be as special for the 40th. But then again, I am quite the Noob when it comes to this festival, so it really isnt my place to say.
Hey, Planet? I know this doesn’t matter too much, but I’m not having a great week, and could really use something to make me smile.
Maybe just one more announcement? :flower
Oh my God. That would be amazing!
A Bluegrass musician parks his car and walks into his favorite drinking establishment, inadvertently leaving his prized banjo in the back seat, in plain view and door unlocked. After having a couple drinks, he realizees the error of his ways and immediately runs out to his car to check his back seat. As he advances on the car his worst fears are realized as he sees the back door open, and, to his dismay, 3 new banjos on the back seat in addition to his own. 
:lol
I would be thrilled with any of the bands mentioned above. Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn! I just can’t wait to see y’all!
Ahh…banjo jokes!! Thanks!!
Whats the difference between a banjo player and a skunk with a tuba? The skunk might be on his way to a gig.
And where is Railroad Earth this year? It should be their year. Here’s the link to a video slideshow from their recent pass through Denver. They were in fine form. I hope this puts a little smile on your face, Huck.
It’s Friday and somethin’ gooooood always happens on Friday. Right Ferg? :flower
And it starts with the letterrrrrrrrrrrrr------------------? :rolleyes
Pure torture it’s like storage Wars :lol. Whats in that box :flower
