Summer in Durango is just around the corner — and with it comes the unmistakable sound of live blues echoing off the mountains. The Durango Blues Train returns August 20–22, 2026, bringing three unforgettable nights of music, movement, and mountain scenery. Rolling out aboard the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, this one-of-a-kind experience transforms a classic steam-powered train into a moving blues festival. This year’s lineup features an incredible roster of talent, including The Boneshakers, Dick Earl’s Electric Witness, Dave Jordan & Co, Kara Grainger, Nigel Wearne, and Weary Ramblers. Tickets go on sale Thursday, February 26 at 10:00 am (MST). Tickets are $165 per person, ages 21+, and this event traditionally sells out well in advance — so be ready when they go on sale.

We're back on the rails this summer for another rockin' and rollin' trip on board the legendary Durango Blues Train. Experience live music on board the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad’s steam-powered train through the spectacular and breathtaking canyons of the San Juan National Forest. The Blues Train features six live blues performances inside the train coaches with a festive musical environment. Each artist performs in their own vintage coach, while passengers are free to dance their way from coach to coach. Four coaches have seats while two are open with no seats for dancing. Enjoy an evening on the rails with some of Colorado's best craft beer and wine along with spectacular scenery. The lineup will be announced February 24 and tickets go on sale February 26.

We’re excited to introduce two new experiences: the Durango Bluegrass Train and the Great Smoky Mountains Music Train. The Durango Bluegrass Train brings the same beloved onboard format to a new genre, filling every vintage coach with live bluegrass, Americana, and roots music as the San Juan Mountains roll by. Meanwhile, the Great Smoky Mountains Music Train takes the concept east, pairing live performances with the stunning scenery of the Nantahala River and Fontana Lake. Same spirit, new sounds, and unforgettable journeys—now rolling in more places than ever.

The 2025 Durango Blues Train rolled through the San Juan Mountains with music, dancing, and unforgettable vibes. From the talented artists on board to the fans bringing the energy, it was a ride to remember. Don’t miss next year—tickets go fast, and you’ll want to be ready when the train leaves the station!
