It has been announced that Dark Star Jubilee will return to Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio, May 28-30, 2027, by bringing together three nights of Dark Star Orchestra and a wide-ranging lineup spanning from bluegrass, Southern rock, funk, roots music and the broader jam community for the festival’s 14th annual edition.

General festival information, ticket packages, camping details, and updates are available at DarkStarJubilee.com. The newly announced 2027 lineup features three nights of Dark Star Orchestra, alongside Greensky Bluegrass, The Allman Betts Band, Melvin Seals & JGB with Mads Tolling and Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country.

Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Dumpstaphunk, Saxsquatch, Jeff Mattson & Friends, Skeleton Crewe, Clay Street Unit, Magoo, Bella Rayne, New Gypsy Cowboys, Hot Like Mars and Rob K & Sean’s Voodoo Mixtape will be performing at the event as well.

Hosted by Dark Star Orchestra and produced by All Good Presents, Dark Star Jubilee has grown into a Memorial Day Weekend tradition built around live music, camping, and the sense of community that has surrounded the festival since its beginning. The 2027 edition arrives during an especially active period for Dark Star Orchestra, which continues to play a central role in the evolving Grateful Dead community.

After nearly 30 years and more than 3,400 performances, the band has seen renewed attention from longtime Dead Heads and younger audiences alike, while continuing its tradition of recreating historic Grateful Dead concerts and allowing each performance to develop with the same improvisational freedom at the heart of the original music.
