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.<\/p>\n\n
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. <\/p>\n\n
The launch of this year’s lineup is ongoing. Keep an eye on this page and our social media channels – the first artists will be announced this week. <\/p>\n\n
We promise strong musical moments, raw energy and magical evenings in the dark. This year, we will be visited by artists and bands from Norway, USA, UK, Denmark and Sweden.<\/p>\n\n
