Cancelled
BIGGEST FREE BLUES FESTIVAL IN THE UK
UPTON UPON SEVERN, WORCESTERSHIRE
2020 CANCELLED
All camping tickets sold will get a full refund, including booking fees.
As of 12 noon 21st March 2020 – All those who have booked camping tickets will receive a full refund, which will be processed in the next few days.
- We feel a duty to festival-goers and to the people of Upton itself to act responsibly with regard to public health: the town has a generally older population which current government measures are designed to protect. Even if those restrictions have been relaxed by July, we don’t think Upton will be ready for such a large event quite so soon.
- Putting on the festival means spending a considerable amount of money now on staging, equipment, and all the infrastructure associated with an event of this size. Our finances are finely balanced, and if we can’t cover our outlay it’ll put the whole future of the festival in jeopardy. It’s impossible to predict how long Coronavirus restrictions will remain in place, or what public confidence in crowded events will be like at the end of it.

Hey folks, as we now look forward to the 2020 Festival we have some great new additions to our weekend. The camp site is opening a day earlier for all you hardy folk that want to arrive early, get set up and get ready to go for the weekend. We are also offering you the chance to stay on a day later, which means you can avoid the manic Monday rush to leave, kick back and enjoy the town of Upton and all it has to offer, without a festival going on. We have brand new Campsite caterers this year, providing a new look campsite stage, essentials shop and food offering. After the huge success of the church as the acoustic stage last year, we have enlarged and improved the seating area even more. This year we are also introducing a “Supporters Wristband” each will have a. serial number on them, and we will have a draw at the end of the weekend, offering a fantastic prize to the winner.
We have a great line up this year with some epic bands booked in for you, including – Sean Webster, Dusk Brothers, Northsyde, Thr3e, Hamilton Loomis, Elles Bailey, Catfish, Tommy Allen and Dana Gillespie to name but a few! Look at the full listing on the Artists Page.
We look forward to seeing you over the weekend, when it will be sunny and hot!
Directed by Frazer Sheppard and the backing music is written and performed by the fabulous Stone Mountain Sinners.
