DENVER — The Telluride Bluegrass Festival’s 2027 lineup is set, but organizers are being somewhat coy about announcing which bands are expected to play. Luckily we got advance access to the lineup, which you won’t find elsewhere online yet.

This week, Lyons-based festival producer Planet Bluegrass sent out letters via snail mail to select members of the media and past ticket buyers offering a sneak peek at the dates and performers for next year. Telluride Bluegrass Festival returns to its namesake mountain town from June 17 to 20, 2027 and the lineup has a few welcome surprises.

Indie folk band Caamp and indie rockers the War on Drugs lead the lineup, bringing fresh vibes to a festival known for its cast of longtime mainstay performers. Country singer Stephen Wilson Jr. and soul trio the Womack Sisters also sit atop the bill, alongside stalwarts like Sam Bush Band, Punch Brothers and the Del McCoury Band. See the full lineup below.

Planet Bluegrass’ old-school announcement emphasized the company’s desire to get music lovers out from behind screens and into physical spaces together.

“We’re doing ‘radical’ stuff like sending letters in the mail and enjoying live music played on wooden instruments in front of living, breathing people. We’re singing, dancing, hiking, biking, skiing, cooking, eating, laughing, and picking,” the announcement said. “That’s what Telluride Bluegrass is all about. That’s why we gather.”

Tickets to the 54th annual festival go on sale Dec. 10 at bluegrass.com. In the meantime, check out who is playing below.
