"We want this year's edition of the Suwałki Blues Festival to be special and focus on Polish-Norwegian cultural cooperation," organizers said ahead of the event.

"Because Lithuanian culture is an extremely important part of our local culture, we have also invited Lithuanian blues bands to participate in the festival," they added on their website.

The contingent of Polish performers includes music industry veterans such as Małgorzata Ostrowska, Krzysztof Cugowski and Lora Szafran, state news agency PAP reported.
