Lahnsteiner Bluesfestival

The Lahnsteiner Bluesfestival looks back on an extraordinary tradition. With the 46th edition in 2026, it is one of the oldest blues festivals in Germany and has brought generations of musicians to its stage over the decades.

The festival enjoys cult status in the German blues scene. The mix of established blues greats, talented newcomers, and occasional international acts makes every edition an event that not only has local character but also attracts attention from the entire German-speaking region.

The venue is the Stadthalle Lahnstein, a proven concert location with good acoustics and sufficient capacity for the concerts. The family-like atmosphere, the commitment of the organizers, and the loyalty of the audience contribute to the festival's special charm.

The 2025 edition – the 45th – took place on September 27th in the Stadthalle Lahnstein. This series continues with the 46th edition in 2026. The exact date was not yet officially confirmed at the time of writing this entry; based on historical scheduling habits, late September is expected as the probable festival weekend.

The festival is part of the Kultursommer Rheinland-Pfalz 2026 and is supported in its reach by the funding from the Kultursommer. Lineup announcements and advance ticket information will be communicated via lahnsteiner-bluesfestival.de.
