The Dundee Blues Bonanza

The Dundee Blues Bonanza (DBB) is a free blues music festival held over 3 days, which is unique to the City of Dundee. It takes place in over 30 city centre venues, all within easy walking distance of each other. Pioneered and successfully developed over the last 14 years by a voluntary committee, the DBB has been nurtured from modest beginnings to its present level, which includes a very healthy International element.
 
Along with our own massive UK complement, many International acts and fans keep coming back to enjoy the friendly and enthusiastic atmosphere around the city during the Bonanza weekend.
 
Dundee is now called the Blues Capital of Scotland, and some have claimed it is the biggest free music festival in Europe. It has been estimated that approximately 12,000 people descend on the City of Discovery to partake in what the Lord Provost calls “The Bonanza Buzz”
 
This event does a great deal to enhance Dundee’s reputation and standing around the Globe, and has established it firmly on the International Music Scene.
