Tickets

What to know ~ Before you go

This is one of Telluride’s most popular annual events, and it will sell out. That’s why there’s no better time than to start planning than right now. Begin by marking your calendar, as tickets go on sale on March 2nd at 10am (MT). There are a wide variety of packages available, but the most popular ones like the VIP and weekend camping packages usually sell out the first day. Those that prefer to wait until the lineup is officially announced, single-day tickets will also go on sale on March 2nd, marking a change from previous years when single-day tickets went on sale a few months later.

Performers

From the namesake blues ~ To country, indie, pop and beyond

If past lineups are any indication, you’re most certainly in for a treat. The Telluride Blues & Brews Festival always tries to outdo itself, and there’s no reason this year will be any different. Previous lineups have included legends like Joe Walsh and Mick Fleetwood, who share a stage with up-and-coming sensations like Gary Clark Jr. and Shakey Graves. And previous years have seen such diverse acts as ZZ Top, Sharon Jones, George Clinton, Phil Lesh, Willie Nelson and Etta James pass through. Sign up for their Bluesletter to stay up to date as the announcements trickle in.

Vendors

What to expect ~ Around the festival grounds

In addition to some of the best microbreweries in the country, there will be no shortage of delicious food booths and crafts vendors. Other lively on-site events include a 5K race fundraiser, a grand tasting of more than 170 brews, the Rainbow Kids Area with plenty of exciting activities, art galleries, yoga sessions and more. More details are coming in early spring!

Lodging

Like the event itself ~ Telluride lodging fills up fast

It’s no secret that this is one of the most popular weekends to visit Telluride in the off season. And if you are not camping, Telluride vacation rentals do fill up fast. To secure the best accommodations, you’ll want to reserve your lodging in Telluride now.

The event is entirely walkable, so you won’t need a car. But because the festival is mainly in the Town proper, you’ll need to take the Gondola from Mountain Village or one of the many free shuttles should you choose to stay outside of town limits. Take a look at our available Telluride lodging for the event.
