A festival with a wide range of genres
Although the name promises blues, over the years the festival has deliberately sought diversity in its programme – precisely to appeal to a wider audience. Traditional blues genres are purposefully combined with rock, soul, Americana and newer expressions that tend to attract a wide range of both loyal and new festival-goers.
The festival is known for its intimate feel, with stages such as:
- Sykkelverkstedet – an atmospheric, local concert venue used year after year
- Grand Scene – cosy concerts in the basement of the Grand Hotel Egersund
- Tools-Scene (main stage) – a robust, indoor stage with a powerful sound and lighting rig for the festival's biggest artists
- Rockescenen – a fresh addition since 2016, with harder and alternative elements that give young people a cultural space
The stages are positioned so that the audience can easily move between them, contributing to a lively and accessible festival experience in the centre of Egersund.
An inclusive and authentic expression
The festival delivers a warm atmosphere where both dedicated blues lovers and curious participants will find something to enjoy. The festival management adheres to the ideals of quality, proximity and community – and the festival has become a welcome cultural beacon in the region.
