About

The long-running Gloucester Rhythm and Blues Festival takes place on Saturday 27 July – Sunday 4 August at multiple venues across the city.

A mainstay of Gloucester’s Summer of Music, Arts and Culture (SoMAC), the festival is a firm favourite with live music fans, and Blues aficionados from around the region.

Local, national and international Blues artists converge on the city for a nine-day celebration of the genre with around 70 live performances across the city’s pubs and live music venues. See the latest schedule.
