Featuring Big Joe Louise, Bo Weavil, and the Bumble Bee Blues Duo
“The Mississippi is where the blues began its journey around the world. It has always been accompanied by tragedies both big and small, a cult of mojo, voodoo magic—but also all kinds of adventures.”

Mississippi Blues & Barbecue Festival
In 2026, the Mississippi Blues & Barbecue Festival will once again transform the Kulturbrauerei into a hotspot for authentic blues for a day.
On Sunday, August 30, 2026, starting at 3 p.m., it’s all about handmade blues, an international lineup, and Memphis-style barbecue—in the relaxed open-air atmosphere of the SODA Beach Garden.
Curated by Micha Maass, the festival’s 13th edition once again brings together musicians who carry on the spirit of the Mississippi Delta blues with their own unique style, great authenticity, and palpable passion.
