Many of you will doubtless recall Jonah Blacksmith's appearance at Tønder Festival in 2015. The band from Thy in northern Jutland were relatively unknown back then, but that evening changed all that. The concert took the audience by storm, the critics awarded the show top marks, and Jonah Blacksmith's name was on everybody's lips.
Jonah Blacksmith is now established as one of Denmark's best live bands. Their sound is wide, deep and dynamic, just like the North Sea and the landscape in their home territory of Thy. Their characteristic songs, delivered in Simon Alstrup's powerful vocal, have forged their own alloy of the personal and the grandiose.
Since 2015, Jonah Blacksmith have performed several times at Tønder Festival, and now you can look forward to their return, this time with new surprises and guests of hitherto undisclosed identity on stage.
"Tønder Festival means a lot to us, as it is here we have had some of our absolutely finest concert successes. We are delighted to be returning, and we promise we will bring something extraordinary to our 2024 Tønder concert," says Jonah Blacksmith's Simon Alstrup.
"Jonah Blacksmith is one of the bands we have had most requests for from our audience. The bonds between the band and our festival are very strong, so it is natural that they are invited to play at Tønder Festival 2024," says Maria Theessink, Tønder Festival's artistic director.

Tønder Festival 2024 was a great success despite the severe weather, which challenged guests, artists, and volunteers alike. However, the atmosphere remained high, and it became an unforgettable experience for everyone who attended. Don’t miss the 2025 festival, where we will once again gather for a fantastic weekend filled with music, community, and celebration!
David Ritschard, along with Tim O'Brien and Jan Fabricius, have canceled their performances at Tønder Festival due to illness.
Already this year, the new egg cartons will be used to serve the local delicacy, solæg, which is one of the festival’s most beloved and traditional dishes.
Our audiences will be pleased with the extra treats in store when Tønder Festival celebrates our 50th year.
