The last chord has rung out. The afterparty has turned into a headache. Live at Heart 2026 has come to an end.

❤️ Thank you to all the amazing artists,

❤️ Thank you to all our festival partners and every single visitor – this festival’s existence is solely because of you. Hope you enjoyed this year’s edition just as much as we did 🤘🏼

We don’t want the after-talk to be about politics nor economics, so let’s not discuss that. When we look back, we want to talk about the highlights & when we look ahead, all we want to do is discuss next year’s festival.

We want to build a festival that we and our city can be proud of. We want to find the perfect recipe of ”a showcase festival vs. a city fest”. And we do think we’re getting closer each year…

We have embraced the fact that we are a small festival. We know that it will be tough selling tickets outside of the region. We know that the major music industry has always been hounded to come here… At the same time, we also know that our ticket buyers love this festival just as much as we do, and we know that most of the delegates that come here are new, independent, and hungry. Hungry for new music & new connections. Just like us… So let’s keep it like that – let’s focus on that.

Now, we’ll definitely do some twists and changes, as always. Details that we believe are crucial in the development of the festival.

Time for a few weeks rest – then we’ll be right back in the saddle again. See you at Live at Heart 2027 ❤️
