Open Air for Blues Fans

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.

Free and Cozy

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.
