The Main Stage on Day 6 opened with the Alex Tomaselli Blues Band plus the Prog Blues of Burning Rope. Another masterfully chosen Blues and Blues Rock led lineup then saw guitar songstress sensation Ally Venable Band followed by Dawn Tyler Watson, featuring Ben Racine’s band, delivering a beautiful Soul Blues set.

Closing 2026’s festival on a high with his wonderful Rock Blues set was US award-winning Kenny Wayne Shepherd, also featuring powerhouse lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Noah Hunt. An incredible ending on the open air stage, as well as in the night time atmosphere.

The 2026 Brezoi Open Air Festival was beyond Brilliant! Congratulations and massive respect to festival organiser Master Mihai Razvan Mugescu! You, along with Kaz Hawkins, Cristina Ionela Mugescu Bitze, your sponsors, colleagues and artists were amazing! Here’s to 2027 featuring headliners Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart!
