No Bon Jovi?  Oh, that's right - you're holding back one big name so my dreams could STILL come true!

Seriously this looks like the strongest lineup in years!!!  THANK YOU!!!!

That looks like an excellent line-up. Can't wait to see the two other artists and those not yet confirmed. Out of these, I'm probably most excited to see The Dusters return. Their new album is one of my favorites of the year. I hope they get a late night slot or at least a nightgrass show.

so since del is announced for rockygrass and not in this initial lineup is it for sure he or the travelling mccourys won't be at telluride? would rather see him perform vincent 52 than richard thompson, meh.
also jackson browne, i guess all i know are his cheesy hits from the 80s, maybe he's better live these days?
love the lineup otherwise but still hoping for some more giants of bluegrass like david grisman, tony rice (but he's billed at the rudyfest in ky that weekend so probably not), ricky skaggs and allison kraus.

Solid looking initial lineup (minus Feist). Looking forward to hearing what else PB has booked. Would love to have Del or Travelin' McCourys. And where is Greensky?

Great to see Natalie MacMaster on the bill.  She is just terrific and so is her husband Donnell.  Cape Breton music in the San Juan's?  Love it!

Yo Duffy,
  I'm a huge Del fan but MEH to Richard Thompson? Out of the hundreds of adjectives to describe him I've never heard that one...while Del and company tear it up with every song they do, RT's Black Vincent is nothing short of AWESOME.
  Personally, I hope Planet Bluegrass brings someone to the lineup that no one is expecting...all these folks are nothing short of amazing but we've seen 'em at the Colorado festivals many times. That being said, I am glad to see Sam and Band at the top where he should be. We are spoiled of course, and we've seen 'im hundreds of times, but he remains the most understated talent in ALL of music in my opinion...

+1000. I love Del too, but I'd rather hear the Richard Thompson version (the original) of Vincent Black Lightning.  There is sooooo much emotion in his version.
