Little Blues Stage

The Little Blues Stage in the Foyer was so popular at 2016’s festival, so we’ve asked our media sponsors Blues Matters to come back and do it all again! They’ll be bringing for new and upcoming acoustic bands and artists to the stage. A vote will be cast at throughout the day with an opportunity for one or more of the bands to win the chance of performing on the main stage at 2018’s festival!
