The 2026 Suwałki Blues Festival is fast approaching. This year’s edition will once again feature many outstanding musicians on several stages. The headliners for the 19th Suwałki Blues Festival are now known.
The Suwałki Blues Festival 2026 will last three days this year. From July 9th to 11th, outdoor concerts will take place on the main stages at the Town Hall and in Constitution Park on the 3rd of May. Artists will also perform at Maria Konopnicka Square, and acoustic concerts will be held on Chłodna Street. Continuing the tradition of blues breakfasts, Suwałki Blues Drift 2026 will feature a Mazda MX5 rally, a motorcycle parade, and a concert on a mobile platform. Concerts will be held as part of the Polish Blues Challenge 2027 qualifiers for the European Blues Challenge 2027, held in Portugal. Admission to all outdoor events is free.
We also invite you to the ticketed opening concert of SBF 2026, which will take place on July 9th at 8:00 PM in the Andrzej Wajda Hall at the Suwałki Cultural Center, 5 Pope John Paul II Street. The band THE BONESHAKERS from the USA will perform. The culmination of each day’s events will be the traditionally popular evening club concerts at festival locations such as Rozmarino, Browar Północny, Black Pub Komin, Restauracja Wilniuk, and Piwiarnia i Kura na Chłodnej. Tickets are required for the evening club concerts. We also invite you to the Blues concerts on the Boulevards. This year, the Suwałki Blues Festival will host performers from the USA, Great Britain, Italy, Norway, France, Croatia, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, the Czech Republic, and Poland. In total, over 50 bands and 300 musicians!
