The Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival

The Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival returns to Colne over the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Now in its 34th year, the festival will welcome 52 artists across three main venues, the Pendle Hippodrome, The Exchange Project Stage and The Little Theatre, showcasing a diverse and dynamic blend of rhythm and blues, roots, Americana and soul.

The festival was named UK Blues Based Festival of the Year in April at the prestigious UK Blues Federation Awards in Milton Keynes.  It was the first time that the festival has taken home the award since 2019, showcasing a triumphant return to the spotlight for one of the UK's most cherished music events.  This year's festival will feature a number of international artists, UK Blues Award winners, local talent and headliners, including Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse, When Rivers Meet and Gerry McAvoy's Band of Friends.

The Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival is widely regarded as one of Europe's best blues festivals.  Alongside the main venues, the Colne Blues Society will once again programme the official fringe festival, offering five days of free music across bars and pubs across the town, creating a full-town takeover atmosphere.
