Egersund plays host to the Dalane Blues Festival each year. This festival is known for its iconic rock and blues performances along with concerts from a variety of other genres as well. During this time, you can experience 30 different shows on five stages that differ both in size and structure.
Established in 2003, Dalane Blues Festival intends to reach as many music lovers across all genres as possible. With blues at its core, it has since welcomed many bands and solo artists to the stage - each showcasing its unique style enriched with a blues influence.
The Dalane Blues Festival aims to bring the joys of music to everyone, regardless of age. This festival is an excellent chance for local/regional musicians and artists to showcase their ability in the Union Blues Cup. Whoever emerges victorious from this competition will be given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - they will head on to the Notodden blues festival as one of its finalists! And if that's not enough, they'll also have an expense-paid tour around Norwegian blues clubs with which they could make invaluable connections within the music industry.
The Dalane Blues Festival endeavors to deliver an unparalleled experience to its guests and musicians, placing high importance on quality over quantity. As the festival has increased in popularity each year, it now draws attendees from all corners of the globe. Indeed, this prestigious event is respected not only within Norway but across international borders too!
For over a decade, the festival has welcomed countless incredible performers, such as Beth Hart, The Waterboys, Johnny Winter, Oli Brown, and Andrew Strong. It is now one of the most renowned festivals in the area, thanks to its dedicated volunteers, sponsors, and passionate audience members who help bring it together each year.
