So about the lineup…
Anyone got guesses on who the artists TBA are? Yola? Tyler Childers? Billy Strings? Bob Weir?
:cheers
I wonder what the hold up is? PB still tying up loose ends on artist negotiations/contracts? Who knows…6 weeks away. Hope they were able to keep BS on-board.
From what I understood, I think they are trying to get most the artists that were scheduled for 2020. You’d think they’d be trying real hard for BMFS as he’s definitely pulled in some big awards since his last TBF. I just hope they steer clear of Ricky Skaggs, I mean he’s one hell of a singer and picker but his personal opinions and stage banter are not so great!
If they have 4 artists a day, as per the e-mail, and wknd one is 3 days. They already announced 12 artists that weekend so I’m not sure how they would add more to it?
Good point! Let’s work backwards to see if they can squeeze in any more.
Weekend 1:
o Friday, June 11: Gates open at 3pm, music times from 5pm to 10:30pm
o Saturday, June 12: Gates open at 1pm, music times from 3pm to 10:30pm
o Sunday, June 13: Gates open at 1pm, music times from 3pm to 10:30pm
- Weekend 2:
o Thursday, June 17: Gates open at 3pm, music times from 5pm to 10:30pm
o Friday, June 18: Gates open at 1pm, music times from 3pm to 10:30pm
o Saturday, June 19: Gates open at 1pm, music times from 3pm to 10:30pm
o Sunday, June 20: Gates open at 1pm, music times from 3pm to 10:30pm
Seems on the 3-1030 days there’s probably room for 5 bands, unless they’ll all have over an hour set.
I think you’re right. How long is changeover between sets typically? If it’s 30 min, that seems like enough time for 4 bands for an hour and closer for 1.5 hours.
3-4 Band 1
4-4:30 changeover
4:30-5:30 Band 2
5:30-6 Changeover
6-7 Band 3
7-7:30 Changeover
7:30-8:30 Band 4
8:30-9 Changeover
9-10:30 Band 5
Lucas, in past years it seems they do a fantastic job shuffling bands on and off stage, unless there’s a lot of gear or sound checking to do seems like it’s typically around 15-20 minutes.
So ya, plenty of time for 5 on those longer days. Interesting.
This may have been in the email that I didn’t get, but a friend shared…First weekend: Dierks Bentley, Sam Bush Band, Greensky Bluegrass, Infamous Stringdusters, Punch Brothers, Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn, Safffah Jarosz, Tim O’Brien Band, Chris Thile, Hawktail, Shook Twins, Bowregard, and more TBA.
Second weekend: Telluride House Band, Sam Bush Band, Leftover Salmon, Del McCoury Band, Watchhouse (formerly Mandolin Orange), Peter Rowan, Jerry Douglas Band, Yonder Mountain String Band, Edgar and George Meyer, Crooked Still, and more TBA.
I thought Sam and maybe some others get 2 hours? House band?
Lineup prognostication has always a fun game to me. Here’s my 100% unofficial stab at putting a schedule together based on what’s mentioned in the thread, historical set lengths/break times (mostly just a stab in the dark, but directionally makes sense), and where I’d expect (or want) to slot the bands which have been announced.

:wave Doesn’t matter one bit that I’m not attending #47 (47 really? the 46th IMHO) in 2021, this prognosticating is super fun to watch! :festival
KEEP ON, FESTIVARIA :abduct :sunshine :cheers SKOL TBF! :lovedr
Are you doing Blue Ox again this year? Still want to make it up there one of these years!
Oh he’s going. Potluck String Band hosts the Pot Luck Pickin’ area. I really want to go to this as well. We are considering…
Let’s caravan!
Im on their site now. Definitely considering this. The August date this year works better than the early summer dates.
Weekend One - Sunday?
Bob Weir and Wolf Bros play Friday and Saturday in Vail… Would he be favorable to a “short set” on Sunday???
Jeez, Sir Lorax, Pot and Luck is one word up here in the northern Heartland! When will you learn?
And, yes, fersure, the PSB “full size” compound will be rising again for the @Blue Ox Fest.
(no primitive set up here) It’s in August this year. (19-22)
Already some mountain folk coming. Will be a blast! Can’t wait… :thumbsup :burn
