Foxtail Festival 2026 program
The program for Foxtail 2026 is a mix of old favourites and new discoveries, all rooted in the music we love. As always, our festival kicks off at 12.00, and the official line-up wraps up around 01.00 – when everything starts to fall apart in the best possible way.
More artists to be announced…
THE ORGELHEIMERS
For the first time in world history, The Orgelheimers are playing Foxtail in their “original” line-up. By that we mean we’re playing in the constellation closest to the group that can be considered the Orgelheimers who most often play in The Orgelheimers — though without being able to claim that we deliver anything original whatsoever.
Not even the songs we’ve written ourselves are particularly original. Quite the opposite.
It’s just a bit of organ, with a little more organ added.
Hence the name.
Surprise.
MIKE ANDERSEN BAND
What do you do after nearly three decades as one of Denmark’s busiest live names? You make your 10th studio album, of course. That’s exactly what Mike Andersen Band has done.
The new album is personal and uncompromising — circling around life on the other side of a divorce. Not to be heavy about it, but because honesty is where the music comes alive. Blues is the starting point, but country, soul and americana are stirred well into the mix. Pigeonholing has been sent to the bin.
With the energy they bring on stage, there’s no sign of the flames burning out. Quite the opposite.
SAM GHEZZI VORTEX
What happens when a tenor saxophonist gathers an international crew of musicians from Amsterdam and Copenhagen and points the compass toward 1950s Chicago? You’ll find out on August 15th at Foxtail Festival.
Sam Ghezzi Vortex revives two of the most festive corners of blues history: Chicago Blues — the raw electric sound that filled Illinois apartment parties and street corners — and Jump Blues, the upbeat, swinging style with jazz DNA from the 40s. The result is music that’s hard to stand still to.
Sam Ghezzi on vocals and sax, Fabian Vang-Lauridsen on guitar, Cesar Puente on double bass and Joe Korach on drums.
HARRY EUCROW
Some bands need a lengthy introduction. Harry Eucrow handles it himself: “a sinner against gothic americana and alternative country, with death, drink and bad decisions as fuel for his absurdist, devil-may-care wandering along highways and bar tops.”
Behind him: a post-punker on bass, a circus musician on guitar, a rock nomad behind the drums — and Eucrow himself as a doomsday preacher from the hangover grave, sermonizing about your worst impulses.
It might not sound like standard festival cheer. But it’s exactly what Foxtail is built to make room for: music with edge, soul and a little danger — balanced by sunshine and beer at the harbour.
LEO BANG
Leo Bang has his roots planted firmly in country’s golden age — and you feel it from the first chord. Inspired by Buck Owens and Hank Williams, Leo breathes life back into classic honky-tonk with energetic, contemporary nerve.
The music moves from dusty ballads that bring tears to your eyes to up-tempo western rhythms it’s impossible to stand still to. It’s real, it’s raw, and it’s delivered uncompromisingly and with heart on sleeve. When Leo Bang & The Copenhagen Cowboys take the stage, something happens — country that reminds you what the genre is really about.
KH SØSTER
KH SØSTER — “kærlig hilsen Søster” (warm regards, Sister) — is a band with a philosophy behind the name. Sisterhood not by gender or blood, but in genuine connections and the conscious choice to be there for one another. It’s an attitude that runs through the music.
The sound blends folk’s grounded warmth with dreamy indie pop: acoustic guitar and drums meet floating synth pads and strong vocal harmonies, inspired by Folkeklubben, Ulige Numre and Peter Sommer. Songs that create space to feel — a counterweight to a noisy, competitive world.
Their debut single “Hvor Er Du” has already received significant airplay on P5. A band ready for the big stages.
MISS SANDY & THE ELECTRIC BILLIES
What do you get when four musicians come together over rockabilly, a touch of early 60s flirtation and high musical ambitions? Miss Sandy & The Electric Billies, of course.
The band has existed for several years in an older constellation, but with a new guitarist on board the energy is renewed, and they’re ready to conquer both Danish and international rockabilly scenes. They master the swinging numbers that get the dance floor moving as well as the quiet, sensitive ballads — and they’re coming to Foxtail with a brand new repertoire of original songs that all four band members have contributed to.
At the front: Sandra Bothmann aka Little Miss Sandy on lead vocals. Behind her: Yury Krivoshein on guitar, Andreas Bothmann on bass and Lasse Brandt on drums.
First time at Foxtail. We can’t wait.
