Blues festivals
It is difficult to talk much about the blues. It needs to be heard and felt. This is music imbued with sadness, longing and grief, the lyrics of which are usually heart-wrenching or very emotional. Originating in the southern states of the United States, this type of music grew out of the hard-working experiences of African-Americans of the time. However, the current world of blues is very diverse and we can often hear it intertwined with country, rock, rock and roll and even traditional US music.
Blues has become a musical genre that has united many cultures and people, whose lovers are true music connoisseurs spread all over the world. They are also in Lithuania and neighboring countries, and they come to many blues festivals held in Lithuania. You can find out about all their dates, places and the list of performing artists on Pickvibe!
Blues festivals in Lithuania
The main and most famous blues festival in Lithuania is Blues Nights. It has been taking place for more than 25 years and is now located in the Ignalina district. Blues music is celebrated here and lovers of this music genre gather here or those who want to hear blues performers from Lithuania and neighboring or distant foreign countries, such as the USA, Australia, the UK and others.
The organizers of the festival are also the organizers of Galapagos, one of the biggest festivals in Lithuania, so people who miss live blues music should definitely not miss the opportunity to visit.

We can also hear blues music or its elements during the Visaginas country and Akacijų alėjas - bards festival.
