It's not every day a festival turns 25 and we're taking this opportunity to do all the things we do the best at what will be a very special 25th Edmonton Blues Festival!

Kenny is followed by Vanessa Collier, who was with us in 2019 and electrified the crowd. We cap Friday with Booker T's 10 piece Stax Revue, Matt Andersen & The Big Bottle Of Joy, Bayou Boogie celebrating the 100 th anniversary of the birth of Clifton Chenier, the King of Zydeco featuring Marcia Ball, Sonny Landreth and CJ Chenier, Blackburn, The Cash Box Kings, Vanessa Collier, Kenny "Blues Boss" Wayne, Blue Moon Marquee, and more. Go to our line up page for all the details and we'll see you August 16-18, 2024!

Saturday will see the Diana Braithwaite and Chris Whiteley band, The Cash Box Kings, Alligator recording sensation Selwyn Birchwood and a revue celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of the King of Zydeco, Clifton Chenier that will feature Clifton's son, C.J. fronting his father's band with guests Marcia Ball and Sonny Landreth!

Sunday's confirmed acts include Blue Moon Marquee, blues phenom D.K. Harrell who at 25 is lighting up the blues world, Canada's Blackburn Brothers, nominated for a record 9 Maple Blues Awards this year and to cap our party, Matt Andersen & the Big Bottle of Joy, a 12 piece, multiple award winning group!
