Ronnie Wood - Ghost of a Man

Upton Blues Festival has continued to grow and capture of the imagination of festival goers across Worcestershire and its surrounding counties.... People come from Worcester, Cheltenham, Gloucester, and all around to experience the festival.

Beyond booking on to the festival's campsite, Upton Blues Festival is entirely free for visitors making it the largest blues festival of its kind in the UK... As many as 11 of Upton's pubs and bars... feature live acts... but the festival will have five stages on offer.

Riverside and Meadow stages are the biggest, but the Under the Bridge stage is new for this year and directed towards a younger crowd alongside keen blues fans... Some people hear blues music and think this festival isn’t for them, but the blues genre is so wide and we're trying to attract younger people to the festival this year.

The events are a prime opportunity to celebrate the heritage of these music varieties and showcase some of the best talents around. The influence of reggae and blues music in Ireland goes beyond the music scene and has had a broader impact on the entertainment industry. It’s clear that the incorporation of these genres into Ireland’s entertainment landscape has helped bring diversity and richness to the culture of the country. This has, in turn, led to the attraction of more diverse audiences to Irish entertainment.
