Originally founded in 2008 by bluegrass legend Del McCoury, the festival has emerged in recent years as one of the premier festivals in bluegrass and roots music. There are also some blazing up-and-coming bands you can’t miss, namely Mountain Grass Unit and Shadowgrass. What makes the 2026 DelFest lineup especially relevant around these parts is the inclusion of some strong traditional country acts in 2026, and even some Southern rock. 29 total artists will be performing at the Allegheny County Fairgrounds.
