Something is about to happen….
We’re about to launch this year’s artists for Dark Season Blues 2026 – and we can’t wait to share what’s in store during the dark season in Longyearbyen.
Dark Season Blues is the world’s northernmost blues festival, and every year we bring together international headliners, strong national names and exciting new artists for a truly unique festival experience in the Arctic. Over the course of a few intense days, Longyearbyen is filled with concerts at Kulturhuset, intimate club stages, hotel bars and unexpected meeting places – all with the special atmosphere that can only be found on Svalbard.
The launch of this year’s lineup is ongoing. Stay tuned to this page and our social media channels – the first artists will be announced soon.
We promise strong musical moments, raw energy and magical evenings in the dark.
Dark Season Blues 2026 – it starts now.
