Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Completes 2026 Lineup
Hardly Strictly Bluegrass has completed its 2026 lineup with Rilo Kiley and Robert Plant with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian for the Golden Gate Park event.
The Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival has completed its lineup for 2026 with two additions. Rilo Kiley, along with Robert Plant performing with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian, have joined the roster for the event. The free festival will take place from October 2 to October 4 in San Francisco at Golden Gate Park. On the Saturday schedule, Rilo Kiley will perform in place of Alison Krauss and Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas.
During the festival weekend, there will be a musical tribute dedicated to Dolly Parton, who previously performed in Golden Gate Park on October 2, 2005. Festival organizers asked performers to add a Parton song to their repertoires, and at least 15 artists accepted the request.
On Thursday, October 1, The Masonic in San Francisco will host a benefit night in honor of Steve Earle. Buddy Miller will serve as the musical director, and Reckless Kelly featuring Greg Leisz will perform as the house band. In addition, the festival series Out of the Park will return across regional venues to benefit Sweet Relief Bay Area Musicians Fund.
