Megève Blues Festival 2026 Lineup Announced: July 31–August 2
The 11th edition of the Megève Blues Festival will take place from July 31 to August 2, 2026, in Megève, France. The festival, founded in 2014 by Stéphane Huget, has moved from the Place de l'Église to the larger Pré Saint-Amour venue for its main stage, the Scène Saint-Amour. The Place de l'Église will still host the Scène Village on August 1 and 2 for free afternoon concerts by local groups. The 2026 lineup includes Troy Redfern, Matt Pascale & The Stomps, and Lovesick on July 31; Ally Venable and Kenny Wayne Shepherd on August 1; and Bette Smith, Nikki Hill, and Coco Montoya on August 2. The festival gained prominence after Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top performed in 2019.
