Outstanding Commitment Over 50 Years
Thursday, October 10, 2024, marked a special day for Tønder Festival, as dedicated volunteers were honored for their outstanding commitment over 50 years.
Americana, country and blues musicians from the top international drawer are heading for Tønder Festival. Treats include The Bros. Landreth, Phosphorescent, Vincent Neil Emerson and David Ritschard. Plus a special concert by Bjørn Eidsvåg accompanied by the Southern Jutland Symphony Orchestra.
Eight more names are added to the Tønder Festival 2024 roster, a varied gathering of bands and soloists, who, true to Tønder Festival form, are a mix of familiar musical favourites with new musicians making their mark on the international scene.
Nordic songwriters
Two Scandinavian musicians will be appearing: Swedish David Ritschard, who had to turn us down last year, and Norwegian Bjørn Eidsvåg, this time backed by no less than the Southern Jutland Symphony Orchestra.
Full Cream Americana and Country
Canadian The Bros. Landreth have a substantial following in Denmark, and are back in Tønder this year. From USA we have three very different styles: country comet Vincent Neil Emerson, americana songwriter Kassi Valezza and indie folk band Phosphorescent.
Voices from Europe and UK
British blues singer Elles Bailey, who is currently attracting a lot of heat, will perform at Tønder Festival for the first time. As will Tønder Festival veteran Hans Theessink, this time with the revived band Blue Groove.

First Band for Tønder Festival 2025
Scots band Elephant Sessions is already on the roster for next year's Tønder Festival. They were to have played on the Open Air Stage on Saturday evening this year, but the show was cancelled because of the violent rainstorm.
Early Bird 2025
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!
