Hardly Strictly Bluegrass has announced its second round of performers at the 2023 festival at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco

The new additions include Kurt Vile & The Violators, Lilly Hiatt, Nora Brown with Stephanie Coleman, Lucero, The Travelin’ McCourys, Chuck Prophet & The Mission Express, Buffalo Nichols, Beth Orton, Mighty Poplar and Carrie Rodriguez.

They join Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Valerie June, Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram, John Doe’s Folk Trio, The Church, Leyla McCalla, John Craigie, Neal Francis, Bahamas and Gaby Moreno.

The festival will take place from Sept. 29 to Oct. 1.

Additional performers for the festival, which is approaching its 23rd year, will be announced soon.

Attendees can expect some new changes to the festival’s layout this year. The Porch stage will be moved to the west end of Hellman Hollow and is renamed the Arrow Stage. It will be slightly bigger than Porch, but will be set lower to maintain a close-knit atmosphere.

The new Horseshoe Hill will provide a cozy atmosphere.

“Horseshoe Hill was influenced by a sense of place and developed with our most beloved bluegrass legends like Hazel Dickens, Dolly Parton and Bill Monroe in mind,” said Avery Hellman, grandchild of festival founder Warren Hellman. “We hope their legacies inform and inspire the up-and-coming artists, spoken-word performers and poets who will grace this stage for years to come.”
