According to the organisers, the Asociación Amigos del Blues de Cáceres, nine concerts have been announced in total. There will be two stages: at Plaza de Santa María and in the El Corral de las Cigüeñas. Admission is free.

The organisers say they plan to combine international guests with acts from the region and the rest of Spain. The Asociación Amigos del Blues de Cáceres will publish the line-ups and running order gradually.
The organisers are continuing the tried-and-tested format of previous years: open-air stages in the historic centre, headline evening concerts and additional events that draw visitors into the old town. Free admission remains a central feature. The Europa Press report of 14 September identifies the two venues, Plaza de Santa María and El Corral de las Cigüeñas, as the main locations hosting the nine concerts.
With the festival, Cáceres is making its mark on the autumn cultural calendar in Extremadura. The old town’s historic fabric shapes the character of the event, while also requiring coordinated logistics and noise control. According to the organisers, planning and delivery are being coordinated with the local authorities. Details of technical installations, access control and security requirements will be provided in the programme information for each event day.
What is confirmed is that the Festival Blues de Cáceres will run from 1 to 4 October 2026, with nine free concerts at Plaza de Santa María and El Corral de las Cigüeñas as its main venues. The styles range from blues and soul to rock ’n’ roll and rhythm and blues; performers will come from Spain, the United States and France. The organisers will announce further details — including performance times and names of performers — in advance.
