Blues and Rock on the Naab River by the Fischerhäusl
The Südstaatenmusikfest is the summer blues and rock open-air event in the town of Burglengenfeld, in the district of Schwandorf. The organizer is the association Bluesfriends im Städtedreieck e.V., founded in 1999, which continues the festival concept. For environmental reasons, the festival moved from California-Weiher to its current location: the idyllic grounds on the Naab river by the Fischerhäusl at Irl.
Over two days, numerous groovy bands perform – from classic and blues rock to Delta and Chicago blues, rock 'n' roll, beat, and rockabilly. In past years, guests have included the house band Bläck Train, Boarisch Blues, German Blues Challenge winner Muddy What?, and Véronique Gayot & Band. Draft beer, steaks, chili, barbecue, and a cozy campfire ensure attendees are well catered for.
Admission is free – the Südstaatenmusikfest relies on the voluntary commitment of the Bluesfriends and is a firm, popular date for the blues scene in the Oberpfalz region and far beyond.
The 29th edition of the Südstaatenmusikfest on the Naab River by the Fischerhäusl at Irl is planned for 2026. As usual, visitors can expect a two-day blues and rock open-air event with numerous groovy bands and free admission, along with draft beer, steaks, chili, barbecue, and a campfire atmosphere. The exact date in July and the full lineup had not yet been published at the time of research; based on experience, the festival takes place on a Friday and Saturday in the second half of July (2025: July 18/19). The organizer remains the association Bluesfriends im Städtedreieck e.V.

Based on experience, Friday starts in the early evening (approx. 6 PM) with the house band and several acts, and Saturday starts in the late afternoon (approx. 4 PM) with more bands playing blues, blues rock, delta and Chicago blues, up to rockabilly.
