EBC Historical Archive: A Journey Through European Blues

Welcome to the official archive of the European Blues Challenge (EBC).

Since its inauguration in 2011, the EBC has grown into the most prestigious showcase for blues talent across the continent.

This section brings together the rich history of our past editions—from the very first chords struck in Berlin to our most recent gatherings in vibrant cities across Europe.

Explore the galleries, discover the winners, and revisit the lineups and programs that have defined the European blues scene over the last decade.

Each edition represents a milestone in our mission to promote and celebrate the diversity of the blues.
