TELLURIDE – This summer's 38th Telluride Bluegrass Festival will see the Telluride House Band capping Saturday's performances, an evening that now includes Steve Earle & the Dukes and a very special twilight set from Sarah McLachlan. After the King of Telluride Sam Bush delivers his festival centerpiece set, the stage will be set for a boisterous late-night throwdown with Old Crow Medicine Show.

Other recently announced additions to the June 16-19 festival lineup include Abigail Washburn, newcomers The Head & The Heart, and the triumphant return (after two of the most extraordinary Telluride Bluegrass sets in recent memory) of Mumford & Sons. These fine performers will join the likes of Robert Plant, Emmylou Harris, Béla Fleck & the Original Flecktones, The Decemberists, Yonder Mountain String Band, and many more of the world's greatest acoustic musicians.

Single-day tickets will be available in March with the release of the complete single-day lineups. For more information, visit the Planet Bluegrass website at bluegrass.com/telluride/ or call 800/624-2422.
