FEITEN
- totaal aantal betalende bezoekers 75.678, gemiddeld afgerond 2.102 bezoekers per Bluesrock
- in 2019 passeerde de 75.000ste betalende bezoeker de poorten van het Openlucht Theater
- totaal aantal artiesten: 263 (incl. artiesten en groepen die vaker speelde op Bluesrock), totaal aantal unieke artiesten en groepen: 220
- * in 1997 was opener GB Bluesband de 100ste act, in 2018 was Stompin’Grounds de 250ste act.
- Guy Forsyth kan met 6 optredens op het Bluesrock Festival (1994, 1997, 2000, 2003, 2005 en 2013) de “huisband” worden genoemd. Hij heeft zelfs 7 keer op het festival gespeeld, in 2016 samen met leden van The Hoax als gelegenheidsformatie DVL: playing the music of The Red Devils and Lester Butler. Walter Trout en Julian Sas stonden 4de keer op de festivalposter en Rory Gallagher, Ten Years After, The Hoax en Barrelhouse hebben allen 3 keer op het Bluesrock Festival gespeeld.
- In 2015 vindt het festival niet plaats op de eerste zaterdag van september maar twee weken later, dit in verband met de Passiespelen die eens in de vijf jaar in het theater te zien zijn. Productioneel was het beter om het Bluesrock Festival te verplaatsen. In 2016 vond het festival weer vertrouwd op de eerste zaterdag van september plaats.
- In 2020 wordt besloten om vanwege de uitbraak van het Covid-19 virus (corona) en de daarbij geldende maatregelingen dat jaar geen 37e editie van het festival te organiseren.
