Thredbo Blues Festival 2026 took place over three days and nights on a weekend towards the end of January.
In the images below, each band has a link to all their images (in colour) in JAlbum. You can then select an image or run a slideshow.

Click closed triangle to start slideshow.

Exit when slideshow finishes (otherwise it goes through all subsequent images)
At the bottom of this post there are links for Top 25, Top 100, Selected Monochromes, All Images and All Previous Thredbo Festivals. Bands in this post are ordered according to when I took most images of each, for a sense of how the festival progressed.
JAlbum can also show you all images from previous Thredbo festivals. Note that previous years may have smaller images, 640×640 from 2006 to 2011, 1024×1024 from 2012 to 2021 and 1900×1900 from 2022.

All images in this post are duotnes with red shadows and yellow highlights.
I took 3,500 images and produced 485 colour images in individual band portfolios, and also duotone conversions (yet to finish). I used Lightroom to select and catalogue images, and processed images in Capture One. In some cases I also used DxO PureRaw 4, Lightroom, or Topaz Photo Studio for noise reduction.

On the Thredbo Blues Festival Page, you will find links to images from all Thredbo Festivals I have photographed since 2006 (there are also links at the top of the JAlbum pages).
This Blog now has links to over 19,000 live music images (probably over 20,000 when I update the spreadsheet, and 13,000 from festivals).
For images I have taken of any band since 2006, see the Musicians and Bands Page .
