The Dax Motors n’ Blues Festival (DMBF) has brought together blues music and motorcycle culture every summer since 2009. The 17th edition takes place on Friday 2, Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 July 2027 in the Parc des Arènes (Parc Théodore-Denis), right in the centre of Dax, in the Landes, between Bordeaux and the Basque Country — about one hour from the Spanish border.
— Around fifteen blues and rock concerts on two stages,
— A gathering of motorcycles of all brands and American cars,
— Two guided motorcycle rides through the Landes,
— The DMBF village: about fifty stands, restaurant and bar,
— Free, guarded motorcycle parking.
The 2027 line-up will be announced in the coming months. In 2026 the festival welcomed Greg Zlap, Rod Barthet, Shaolin Temple Defenders, Teddy Costa, Tree in Your Pocket, Ring of Cash, Devil Jo and many more.
A family-friendly event run by more than 100 volunteers, the DMBF has welcomed over 240,000 visitors since it began.
A symbolic entry fee helps cover the costs of the festival. In 2026: €6 per day or €15 for the weekend, free for under-16s. 2027 prices will be published with the programme.
