Notodden Blues Festival 2026 is now history, and we are left with tired legs, full hearts, and immense gratitude.

Thank you to everyone who came. To those who filled the streets, the concert venues, and the town with life. Who sang along, danced, discovered new artists, met old friends, and created new memories with us.

Thank you to the artists who gave us moments we will be talking about for a long time. To our partners, sponsors, suppliers, and everyone else who makes it possible to stage a festival of this scale.

And last but not least: Thank you to all our fantastic volunteers. You are the very heart of the Notodden Blues Festival. You build, carry, serve, clean up, drive, answer questions, solve problems, and step up—often long before the audience arrives and long after the final note has faded. Without you, there would be no festival. It’s as simple as that.

To everyone who, in your own way, was part of Notodden Blues Festival 2026:

A huge, heartfelt thank you. 💙

We hope you head home with fond memories, new musical discoveries, and a desire to return.

See you again August 5–8, 2027, at Notodden!
