Bryggen hosted Regnbyen Blues Band on 10 October

Bryggen hosted Regnbyen Blues Band in Bergen on 10 October 2026, when the afternoon blues concert took place at Madam Felle. The event connected a current Norwegian music programme with one of Norway's best-known historic harbour districts.

Regnbyen Blues Band played at Madam Felle

The event listing gave the concert the title Regnbyen Blues Band - Ettermiddagsbluesen and scheduled it for 10 October 2026 from 2pm to 5pm. Madam Felle was named as the organiser and venue, with the address Bryggen 43 in Bergen.

Visit Bergen classified the programme as a concert and described Regnbyen Blues Band as one of the few groups performing blues in Norwegian. The listing also said that the band had built an audience in Bergen and across Western Norway. The event listing for 10 October recorded the start and end of the performance and identified Madam Felle as organiser.

Bryggen's Hanseatic structure frames the event

The concert venue stands within the historic district rather than in an open-air square across the whole wharf. That distinction matters for visitors: the dated programme concerned a music event at Madam Felle, while the surrounding heritage site retained its separate identity and historic layout.

UNESCO describes Bryggen as Bergen's old wharf and links its importance to the Hanseatic League's trading empire from the fourteenth century to the mid-sixteenth century. In 1350, the Hanseatic League established a Hanseatic Office in Bergen, one of four overseas offices and the only one preserved today.

The district's appearance reflects repeated rebuilding after fires. UNESCO says the present form stems from the fire of 1702, while the last fire mentioned in the site record occurred in 1955. The long wooden rows facing the harbour are separated by narrow passages, and around 62 buildings remain in the former townscape. Bryggen was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1979, as recorded in the UNESCO record for Bryggen.

Music at Bryggen reflects a living harbour district

The 10 October concert sits within the district's continuing transition from a medieval trading quarter to a mixed historic area. UNESCO records that former trade in stockfish and commodities was gradually replaced from the 1960s by small arts and crafts businesses, restaurants and tourist activities.

That history gives the event a precise setting. Regnbyen Blues Band played at a named venue inside a protected wooden urban structure whose narrow passages, timber buildings and harbour-facing rows still express the organisation of the Hanseatic trading post.
