Fri 27th, Sat 28th and Sun 29th June.

DUNDEE BLUES BONANZA 14

Now going into its 14th year, the Dundee Blues Bonanza can now be truly said to have put Dundee on the International music scene. Visitors now talk of Dundee as the ‘Blues capital of Scotland’.

With musicians coming from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Holland, Germany, Belgium, USA and every part of the UK, all wanting to play on the Blues Bonanza, this is only matched by the enthusiastic throngs of fans who are now flocking to the City of Discovery to participate and enjoy the legendary feel good atmosphere and Blues buzz!

The Blues Bonanza is a street level free festival of Blues music held in over 30 city centre venues, all within easy access and walking distance of each other. With well over 135 acts of both new and old favourites, it will run continuously through the weekend of Friday 27th till Sunday 29th June. Starting with the now traditional International Artists Promotional event of Friday 27th, it ends with the glorious Big Blues Bonanza party on the evening of Sunday 29th June

All the artists and visitors coming to the Bonanza comment on the friendliness that they find in the City and International star Lil’ Jimmy Reed from Alabama, who returned last year to thrill his fans again, now fondly calls Dundee his second home.

JUNIOR BONANZA

One of the attractions to be developed from last year will be the Jnr Bonanza for people under 18. Workshops will be held this year at Riptide Studios (Blinshall Street) and features again Krissy Matthews who impressed us with his band last year. Krissy has played all over the world in his school holidays and intends to turn professional on his 16th birthday! Youngsters can only be inspired by his enterprise.
