The dream of the Triângulo Blues Festival was born long before its first edition.
It began to take shape from the experiences of its creator at major blues festivals in Brazil and the United States — closely observing not only the artists and the shows, but the entire experience built around the music.
From these experiences was born the desire to create, in Uberaba, a festival with international standards , organized, welcoming and meticulously planned down to the smallest detail. An event where every area had a purpose: from the musical program to the stage structure, from the gastronomy to the hospitality, from the audience experience to the care for artists, partners and sponsors.
But the dream was always bigger than simply putting on a great event.
From the outset, Triângulo Blues was conceived to generate a high degree of social, economic , and cultural impact —energizing the city, strengthening the local economy, stimulating tourism, promoting solidarity, and expanding public access to quality culture and music.
At the same time, the desire arose to tell the story of music , with the blues as one of its main roots, and to bring the Brazilian public closer to the richness of American musical culture. Therefore, Triângulo Blues was never conceived as a festival limited to a single genre.
But the idea was never simply to create another festival.
And yes, create an experience.
The Blues is our essence, not our boundary.
The blues is the starting point for a journey that encompasses rock'n'roll, soul, R&B, American funk, jazz, country, and other genres that originated from, interacted with, or were profoundly influenced by this same musical tradition.
More than just bringing together shows, the goal has always been to create a complete cultural experience: connecting eras, styles, and generations, and showing how different sounds are part of the same great story.

It was with this purpose that, in 2024 , the Triângulo Blues Festival held its first edition in Uberaba, inspired by the Uberaba Geopark. There were 10 acts and an estimated economic impact of approximately R$ 2.6 million.
In 2025 , the festival immersed itself in the atmosphere of New Orleans, one of the most important cities in the history of American music. There were 12 acts and approximately R$ 3.6 million was generated for the local economy.
In 2026 , the musical journey arrived in Chicago, a world reference for electric blues. With three stages and 13 acts, the festival held its largest edition to date, generating approximately R$ 4 million.

24 thousand people

Far beyond the music
The impact of Triângulo Blues continues even after the stages close.
With each edition, the festival boosts tourism, hospitality, gastronomy, commerce, services, and the entire creative economy chain, contributing directly to the city and its inhabitants.
This commitment also extends to social responsibility through Blues for All, a project that transforms the festival's reach into solidarity and connection with the community .
In the first three editions, 35 tons of food were collected through the solidarity entrance fee and public participation.
Culture, development, and social responsibility go hand in hand in the Blues Triangle.
Meet Stevie
OUR MASCOT
A story of rescue, music, and lots of love.
A story of rescue, music, and lots of love.
Before becoming one of the most beloved characters of the Triangle Blues festival, Stevie was a stray kitten who was rescued and taken in . His story took a new turn and, over time, he became part of the festival's identity.
His name is a tribute to the legendary guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan , one of the great names in the history of blues, known for his intensity, talent, and contribution to the genre.
Inspired by this connection between music and affection, the mascot was born, now enchanting children and adults alike, participating in special moments, and helping to make the Triângulo Blues experience even more welcoming for the whole family.
More than just a symbol of the festival, Stevie represents the love of music , respect for animals , and the joy of sharing experiences between different generations .
