From 25–27 September 2026, the festival moves into Brașov’s Weavers’ Bastion for three days of international blues, a cine-concert Nosferatu performance, and a stronger link to cultural tourism.
Festival runs 25–27 September 2026 at the Weavers’ Bastion in Brașov, Romania — the event’s first outdoor edition.
Sunday closes with Blüesferatü, a live psychedelic blues score to the 1922 film Nosferatu, expanded with holographics, VR and new animation.
The festival expands to a three-day format and presents a mix of international and Romanian artists.
Sunday 27 September — Blüesferatü: Nosferatu cine-concert
Hosting the festival in the Weavers' Bastion courtyard changes the atmosphere and links the music program to cultural tourism. The medieval setting offers visiting fans the chance to combine concerts with time in Brașov, a well-known historic city. The festival continues to cultivate international relationships while maintaining ties to Romania's local blues scene.
Since its start, Transilvania Blues Festival has worked with musicians and promoters across Europe and the United States. The 2026 lineup reflects that international approach while keeping visible connections to the Brașov blues community—Giles Robson's recurring presence is one example.
