Blues Availles 2026: a Mississippi night for the Chicago Blues tour on 13 November
There is no June weekend this year: La Note Blues has scaled its event down to a single concert, on Friday 13 November 2026 at 9pm, indoors at the Espace Culturel René-Descartes. The evening hosts the local stop of the Chicago Blues Festival, a package that crosses Europe every autumn and reaches its 56th edition in 2026, running from 7 November to 15 December. Its motto, "back to Mississippi!", takes the blues back to the river delta, with musicians drawn from Jackson, the state capital.
Guitarist and singer Zac Harmon leads the line-up as a mentor figure: his playing blends blues with soul and funk, and he has been touring European stages for two decades. He personally spotted Kingston Livingston, a Texas-born guitarist who mixes blues, rock and urban sounds. On vocals, Lady Adrena moved from Jackson gospel to the blues, and her range also reaches into rhythm'n'blues. Behind them, Chris Gipson plays bass, Marvin Holly keyboards and Ralph Forrest drums.
La Note Blues, a non-profit recognised as being of public interest, runs the event in Availles-en-Châtellerault, in the Vienne department of France. For years it took place in June over two or three days, including 2014 and 2015, 2019 with a detour to Monthoiron, and 2022, with concerts from 1pm to 10:30pm. The association had also hosted the Chicago Blues tour in November 2016, with Eddie Cotton Jr, Diunna Greenleaf and Grady Champion, and again in November 2017.
Admission is €25, or €20 for students, jobseekers and disabled visitors with proof of status. There is no online ticketing: seats are booked through a form on the association's website. For more dates, browse the festivals of November 2026 and those in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.
