The 26th edition of Blues Alive is over, tickets for 2023 are on sale now

Together, we entered another quarter century with a few innovations: we more than successfully introduced a second festival stage called the Jam Stage, we returned to the Blues Alive Tour in smaller towns, and general public were able to experience a masterclass with one of our headliners, Jontavious Willis, for the first time. In addition, Blues Alive was packed with a traditionally strong serving of great blues.

Thanks to all our partners for helping us put on a high quality festival. We appreciate the work of dozens of collaborators in the technical, production, catering and other professions for making everything run like clockwork throughout the three days of Blues Alive. And we applaud all the visitors for creating a great atmosphere, which traditionally belongs to the festival and without which our year-long work would be meaningless. We look forward to seeing you at the 27th edition of Blues Alive, which will take place on 16-18 November 2023. We have already announced the names of the first five performers.

Guitar virtuoso Tommy Castro and his band, The Painkillers, are the 2022 Blues Music Award winner in the main Entertainer of the Year category and are one of the most active blues-rock musicians around these days.

Jimmy Carpenter is another regularly appearing name in the Blues Music Awards, this time in the category of brass players. This saxophonist and singer will come with his band to Šumperk to present his fourth album The Louisiana Record.

Bernard Allison, the great guitar star of the middle generation, has long since come out of the shadow of his famous father, blues legend Luther Allison. With his explosive guitar playing and his ability to make a concert an unforgettable show, he stands firmly on his own two feet.

One of the representatives of the younger generation at Blues Alive 2023 will be British guitarist, singer and blues-rock songwriter Krissy Matthews, one of the genre’s biggest island stars, who impressed legendary Cream songwriter Pete Brown so much that he wrote songs with Matthews for an entire album.

The French band Delgres fuses classic blues with Caribbean rhythms in a similar way to New Orleans. The band’s most visible instrument is the sousaphone, which Delgres uses to “claim the music” in the same way that Louisiana street bands do.
