On the evening of Saturday 18 July 2026, the 30th edition of Luxembourg’s Blues’n’Jazz Rallye welcomed thousands of music enthusiasts to a number of venues throughout the Pfaffenthal, Clausen and Grund districts of Luxembourg City, to immerse themselves in a mix of blues, jazz, funk, soul and electronic music.
The festival, organised by the City of Luxembourg (VdL), hosted over 40 bands across a number of indoor and outdoor venues, with food trucks and bars set up to provide food and refreshments throughout the evening and night.
To facilitate the festival, several roads were temporarily closed to traffic and bus routes were modified and a shuttle bus service was implemented by the VdL to help transport people to and from various parts of the festival site.
Seven open-air stages were set up at Neumünster Abbey (Grund), Melusina (Clausen), Place Emile Mousel (Clausen), Parc Mansfeld (Clausen), Theiwesbuer (Pfaffenthal) and Sang & Klang (Pfaffenthal) to host the main acts from the festival’s programme, with additional mini-concerts held at a selected number of pubs and bars across each of the areas.
The international line-up, which included groups such as the Gilles Grethen Big Band, Fred Barreto & The Syndicate, Lightnin’ Bug MADMADMAD and daoud, provided a series of dynamic and diverse concerts, creating a family-friendly atmosphere, where people of all ages were able to enjoy the festivities.
