the tour he did behind this new album was amazing++
he ended the show by playing the entire album from start to finish with the last song being call to arms
after that, there was absolutely no need for an encore!!
mind
blown
So we have now seen some BIG lineups announced from other festivals. Would like to see the acts that Telluride will be bringing this year. This is by far my favorite festival every year- but seems like we aren’t booking much more than the norm and my ticket prices keep going up.
What do you have for us this year Planet Bluegrass!?
Sturgill? Tedeschi? Trampled?
I don’t know if this is even a possibility, but has there been any discussion on Chris Thile doing a prairie home companion at the Telluride stage on Saturday. I’m sure the logistics would be tough and there may even be some legal issues in combining the two events. Still, considering it is a 2 hour show with many performers I could see a way it could work. Just an idea.
I’ve been really conflicted thinking about this lately. There are so many great things about TBF - no greater destination, awesome crowd, the right size, House Band worth the ticket price alone, Nightgrass super fun, etc. But there’s also been some unofficial but logical speculation (based on lineup evidence from the past few years ) that times are changing - I’ve only been coming to Telluride since '07, and maybe this makes me sound like a spoiled baby, but I don’t think I’m being a hater (or at least don’t intend to be) when I say that there are several other similar festivals whose initial lineups are a lot stronger than TBF’s this year. Nervously looking forward to some additions that will hopefully prove me wrong.

You are Telluride. Everybody wants to come to do Telluride!! Yes you can!!
This was in sfgate today:Modern Bluegrass with the Kitchen Dwellers and Gipsy Moon
doesn’t Mumfords owe us a show from the 40th???
I really like the Henhouse Prowlers :medal I can never get enough of Lyle Lovett and strong female in there like Dolly to tear the roof off the house. She can do Bluegrass like nobodies business. Chris Stapleton, woof, love his voice and paired with Dierks holy shi, cow.
I have to admit it. Been listening to some Country as of lately. :flower
Railroad Earth, the Infamous Stringdusters and Sierra Hull will be at the 4 peaks music festival in Oregon during the same timeframe as TBG, so it seems unlikely we will see any of them.
It would be great if TBG could get Tedeschi Trucks Band to bring along the Wood Brothers and Hot Tuna so we can get the Wheels of Soul mini fest within a festival !!
I’m just getting caught up on this thread… But a couple quick comments…
We love Sturgill as much as you guys. We’ve tried really hard to bring him to Telluride the last few years, but alas it hasn’t worked out and sadly it won’t be happening this year - though we got closer than ever.
I love Dan Mangan and his band - and thoroughly enjoyed their sets on the Telluride and Folks Fest stages. We’ll keep him on the list for the future.
A few of the other great suggestions here will be showing up in tomorrow’s 2017 single-day lineup announce… Only a few more hours left. :eek
Exciting to know it’s been attempted! There’s always the 45th. 
Lil’ Smokies
Hiss Golden Messenger, Billy Strings
You know, it is pretty amazing that this post has been up for less than a fortnight but it has been read by nearly 10,000 people. I do love this forum
Too late but Hot Tuna still sounds great! :flower
I also love this forum because it is very amazing and it has a lot of users. I got great help from the articles of these forums and the admin is very nice. Thank you.
