Dear blues friends. This year’s date is slowly approaching. On July 10 – 12, 2025, we will meet again in Suwałki.
Suwałki Blues Festival 2025 is coming — and it’s going to be three days full of music, energy, and unforgettable vibes! From July 10 to 12, the festival will feature open-air concerts on the main stages near the Town Hall and in 3 Maja Constitution Park. You’ll also catch artists performing at M. Konopnicka Square, while acoustic sets will fill the charming Chłodna Street.
We’re keeping the best traditions alive — including Blues Breakfasts, the Suwałki Blues Drift 2025 gathering for Mazda MX-5 fans, a motorcycle parade, and a live concert on a mobile stage!
There will be 5 exciting performances as part of the Polish Blues Challenge 2026, a national qualifier for the European Blues Challenge 2026 to be held in Spain.
All outdoor concerts are free entry, so bring your friends and enjoy the music under the open sky.
Want to kick things off in style? Join us for the ticketed Opening Concert on July 10 at 7:00 PM at Suwałki Arena (ul. Zarzecze 26) featuring ØRGANEK and the blues-rock sensation BLUES PILLS from Sweden!
Each night will wrap up with high-energy club concerts at 6 festival hotspots: Rozmarino, Browar Północny, Black Pub Komin, Piwiarnia, Kura na Chłodnej, and Stół Foodmarket. These evening shows are ticketed events, and always pack a crowd!
We’re also bringing back Blues on the Boulevard and the unique Retro Blues in the Barn sessions.
🌍 This year’s Suwałki Blues Festival will host artists from the USA, Malaysia, Nigeria, the UK, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Lithuania, Serbia, France, and Poland — over 50 bands and 300 musicians in total!
Mark your calendars and join the celebration — Suwałki is the place to be this July!
