The 2026 Lineup Is Here!
A new musical tradition is set to roll through the San Juan Mountains this spring. The Durango Bluegrass Train will make its highly anticipated debut May 28, 29 and 30, 2026, featuring six live bluegrass performances aboard the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
The inaugural lineup showcases an energetic mix of regional standouts and seasoned pickers, including The Fretliners, High Country Hustle, Alex Graf Duo featuring Eli Emmitt, Humbletown Duo, Lightweight Travelers, and The Brothers Santos.
As the train winds through the stunning Animas Valley and climbs toward the breathtaking San Juan National Forest, each artist will perform simultaneously in separate railcars. Guests are invited to move freely from car to car, dancing and exploring six distinct musical atmospheres while enjoying panoramic mountain views.
Four coaches offer seated accommodations, while two open, standing-room-only cars are designed for high-energy dancing. Onboard bars will serve Colorado craft beer, wine, and canned cocktails throughout the evening.
Although Thursday, Friday and Saturday feature the same lineup, organizers emphasize that each night will bring its own unique energy and crowd dynamic.
