Swing Wespelaar 2026

On August 21, 22, and 23, 2026, Swing Wespelaar welcomes blues lovers from home and abroad again for the 38th edition of the festival. Like every year, the festival settles in the center of Wespelaar, literally next to the church (Grote Baan 42, 3150 Wespelaar). Admission is completely free. For almost four decades, Swing Wespelaar has resolutely chosen quality, discovery, and diversity. Our lineup features established international names alongside artists who are about to break through. In this way, we offer visitors a festival where classic blues, roots, soul, rock-'n-roll, and contemporary blues meet. The 2026 lineup is led by, among others, Mike Zito, Janiva Magness, Eric Sardinas, The Temperance Movement, Zac Harmon, The Cinelli Brothers, and Kat Riggins & Blues Revival. In addition, several promising artists will again get their first chance to present themselves to the Belgian public, a tradition that Swing Wespelaar has meanwhile become known for. Thanks to that combination of international top acts, surprising discoveries, and a unique festival atmosphere, Swing Wespelaar has developed into a fixed appointment on the European blues calendar. Moreover, the festival remains true to its original mission: to organize a high-quality, accessible, and free event where music lovers of all ages can enjoy live blues in all its forms together.
