DelFest has unveiled the full artist lineup for its 2026 event. From May 21-24, the beloved bluegrass summit will return for another Memorial Day weekend celebration at its longtime home of Cumberland, Md.’s Allegany County Fairgrounds. Today’s update adds 18 more artists to the initial bill, bringing the festival to a total of 29 trailblazers from the worlds of country, folk, bluegrass, rock and everything in between.

The newcomers to DelFest’s 17th annual staging are led by the Toy Factory Project, the Southern rock supergroup honoring the late Toy Caldwell and the music of the Marshall Tucker Band with co-founding drummer Paul T. Riddle, Marcus King, Oteil Burbridge, Charlie Starr, Josh Shilling and Billy Contreras; the group’s DelFest set is their only announced performance for 2026 apart from two nights at Port Chester, N.Y.’s Capitol Theatre. Starr will also take the stage with country-rock powerhouse Blackberry Smoke, making their Delfest debut.

Other fresh additions to this year’s festival include Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives, Peter Rowan & Sam Grisman Project, Gaelic Storm, Maggie Rose, Sam Grisman Quintet, Southern Avenue, Jason Carter & Michael Cleveland, Sister Sadie, Chris Knight, Magoo, Laurie Lewis & The Right Hands, The Malpass Brothers, Driftwood, Dré Anders, Nicholas Jameson & The Morning Jays, and The Plate Scrapers. They’ll join previously announced fan favorites like Alison Krauss & Union Station, Punch Brothers, The Infamous Stringdusters, Sierra Hull, Mountain Grass Unit and Shadowgrass.
