The 2017 DelFest will be held at Allegany County Fairgrounds in Cumberland, Maryland on May 25 – 28. Organizers of the event have detailed a number of special sets that will be held at the 10th annual DelFest later this month.
On Thursday, May 25 DelFest will host a one-of-a-kind “Del McCoury Band & Friends” set which will find the Del McCoury Band joined by guitarist Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, Phish drummer Jon Fishman, singer-songwriter Ronnie Bowman and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band horn section. This special “kick-off” set will start at 10:15 p.m. Earlier in the day organizers will open the meadow earlier than usual for a short Del McCoury Band soundcheck set at 3:45.
Organizers also revealed Leftover Salmon’s Sunday night set will find the jamgrass favorites performing Neil Young’s Harvest from start to finish. The Travelin McCourys with special guest Dierks Bentley, Trey Anastasio Band (two sets), Gov’t Mule, Bela Fleck & Chris Thile and Railroad Earth are just a few of the other acts set to join The Del McCoury Band at DelFest 10. A variety of ticket packages are on sale now via Eventbrite.
