Hardly Strictly Bluegrass has unveiled the first wave of its 2025 lineup, kicking off the excitement for the beloved (and always free) San Francisco festival. Set to return to Golden Gate Park from October 3–5, the event is already shaping up with some major headliners—yet this is only the beginning.

In true Hardly Strictly fashion, the lineup reveal isn’t your typical drop. Instead, fans get a sneak peek through an exclusive teaser medley released on the festival’s app. It’s a playful, sonic puzzle—so if you think you’ve got the ear, now’s the time to start guessing. More medleys and lineup clues are on the way, so stay tuned and keep listening.
