19-21 July 2013

In and around the Pubs and Streets of Upton upon Severn

welcome

To the home of the fantastic Upton Blues Festival – probably the best completely free blues festival in the UK.

Set in the beautiful Worcestershire riverside town of Upton upon Severn, the 2013 festival will be our 12th – growing from a small event in a couple of pubs into what is now a festival that swamps the town with thousands of music fans, features the ‘Best of British Blues’ over a whole weekend on three main stages and nine pub venues, totally over 100 gigs over the weekend.

Many of you who come are regulars and put the date in your diary from one year to the next because it is so special. Those of you coming to this site thinking you might fancy coming along in 2013 then jump at the opportunity because there are few events like it – the atmosphere, the range of music, the great food and the ambience of the town.

We are currently planning the 2013 festival line up and you can now book your camping by clicking the button at the top of the page. Please come, please camp and make the most of a weekend of great music from blues rock to bluegrass, country blues to New Orleans, acoustic to soul and gospel.

We look forward to seeing you at the 2013 festival!
