Planet Bluegrass has announced the preliminary artist lineup for it’s 34th annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival. This festival has become a destination festival that people travel from all over the world to attend. After looking at the lineup for next year, one can see why.

Alison Krauss & Union Station * Sam Bush Band * Chick Corea & Bela Fleck * Emmylou Harris * Telluride House Band featuring Béla, Edgar, Jerry, Sam, Bryan * Tony Rice & Alison Krauss & Union Station * Yonder Mountain String Band * Béla Fleck & the Flecktones * Chris Thile & How to Grow a Band featuring Bryan Sutton * Jerry Douglas Band * Edgar Meyer & Chris Thile * John Cowan Band * Peter Rowan & Crucial Country * Dougie MacLean Band * Jackie Green * Mike Marshall & Hamilton de Holanda * Sparrow Quartet * Crooked Still * Infamous Stringdusters * Avett Brothers * Greensky Bluegrass * many more still to be announced…

The festival will run June 21-24, 2007 and is, of course, held in Telluride, CO. Tickets are on sale now.

The sister festival, Rockygrass, held in Lyons, CO is usually more bluegrass in nature and the lineup for the 2007 Rockygrass festival is just as impressive (maybe more so for a hard core bluegrass fan).

Nickel Creek * Sam Bush Bluegrass Band * Del McCoury Band * Marty Stuart & the Fabulous Superlatives * Peter Rowan and Tony Rice Quartet * Chris Thile & the How to Grow a Band * Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver * Claire Lynch Band * Kruger Brothers * Cherryholmes * Biscuit Burners * Bearfoot Bluegrass * Red Molly * Long Road Home * many more…
