/by

Blue Highway Fest has revealed the first round of artists in the lineup for this year’s event in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, Oct. 8-11.

The 2026 lineup includes Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Rhonda Vincent & the Rage, The Grascals, and The Cleverlys, with the festival’s namesake and host band Blue Highway anchoring the weekend throughout.

The festival will open Oct. 8 with a songwriters’ night on the downtown 3rd Street stage. With performers to be announced, the event will highlight roots music songwriting, and also pay tribute to Ronnie Bowman, who was set to perform at this year’s festival but tragically passed away on March 22.

“This year we are listening to our fans and getting back to four full days of bluegrass, roots and Americana music with the major focus on bluegrass,” says Wayne Taylor of Blue Highway.

Festival tickets as well as camping and RV parking go on sale today (April 15). Additional performers, as well as daily tickets and schedules, will be announced at a later date.
