Thank you to all the fans for making the last 30 years of Telluride Blues & Brews Festival so special.

Read MoreTo our fans and festival community…
After a breathtaking and magical weekend celebrating 30 years at Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, it has come to our attention that Lyte, the company that the festival had enlisted for an after-market ticket exchange, has shut down suddenly leaving many events and their attendees without any information, including ours. These actions from Lyte are shocking and unacceptable and we are working diligently with all of our resources and industry partners to arrive at a resolution for those who used the platform to resell their tickets. As a proud independent festival, our number one priority is our fans. This has the highest level of priority and we are working around the clock to find the best solution possible. We will share all updates as soon as they become available. For any questions in the meantime, please contact us directly by using the form below. We will provide updates as information becomes available.
