Three days of free blues at Parco Chiesa Rossa
About Milano Blues Festival
The blues returns to Milan
The Milano Blues Festival brings three days dedicated to the blues to Parco Chiesa Rossa, in the south of Milan (Comune di Milano, Lombardy), from June 19 to 21, 2026. Promoted by Barley Arts as part of the Comfort Festival, the event is free admission and offers concerts, talks, workshops, and a photographic exhibition dedicated to blues in Milan, curated by Corrado Gambi for Slow Music.
Three evenings of live music
The festival features guitarists, bands, and marching bands, with a crescendo culminating on Sunday with the Festa della Musica. Among the headliners are the historic Treves Blues Band, Paolo Bonfanti, Gnola and the Goosebumps Bros, Dr. Albert & The BlueStorm, and the marching band Bandakadabra.
Not just concerts
Alongside the stage, Parco Chiesa Rossa hosts a refreshment area with the BBQ Festival organized by STREEAT Food Truck Festival, the workshop Red Church Library Blues, and a photographic exhibition on Milanese blues. A format designed to spend the whole day in the park, enjoying music, food, and culture, in an area of the city that thus regains a major summer event.
