Description

2023 DIGGLE BLUES FESTIVAL

15th – 18th June 2023

The Diggle Blues Festival is a free music festival held annually in the village of Diggle.

Diggle Blues Festival is designed so that you can watch the first band or artist at the first venue, have half an hour to walk to the next venue, buy a drink, find a seat, watch the next band, and so on... It's a sort of musical tour of Diggle.

You don't have to choose between one band and another. You can watch all ten or eleven acts over the weekend - and all for FREE - although a voluntary donation of, say, £1 per head, per band wouldn't be turned down.

The festival is an indoor event so you don't have to worry about the weather. Some acts may be moved outdoors in the unlikely event that we get good weather...

Just turn up and enjoy some really good "jeans-in-the-fridge", live blues music.
