Tenacious D and now a monks announcement? Having a hard time getting excited for this...
Tenacious D is a great way to mix things up, it's going to be a great set.
And there are a lot of other festivals out there if you're struggling so much...
Kind of a jerk thing to say. Thought this festival was about peace, kindness and bluegrass. I saved up for years and bought tickets in 2019 after Telluride had been a bucket list item for me. Going to the festival is something to look forward to after a very dark couple of years for me. And yes, I think it’s fine to be disappointed to have bought tickets to a bluegrass festival when they haven’t announced any artists that are actually bluegrass or up to the caliber of previous festivals.
You're whining about a couple of announcements (which required a lot of hard work by PB staff), with dozens of bands to be named, and my comment is the issue? This festival is about peace, kindness, gratitude, and bluegrass, and your comments aren't in line with that.
Putting that aside, in case this is your first Telluride, welcome and I know you will have a magical time. The bands that will be announced will include all of your heavy bluegrass favorites, it's an absolute certainty. Typically many of the bands will be named on or around the Winter Solstice. The lineup will look eerily similar to every year, so you can rest easy on the "caliber" concern. This is a world-class festival in a world-class location. Enjoy.
