The Blues Tour Groningen started cautiously in 2009, on the last Saturday in February, in five cafes. It was a success; the cafes were packed. Not only with regulars, but especially with blues lovers who had come from far and wide. Since then, the Blues Tour has grown, with 12-16 participating cafes.
This year marks the 14th edition, featuring 12 locations where the blues is played in all its variety. From one-man performers with subdued blues to raw blues-rock bands, classic blues, and even boogie, there is something for everyone. All locations are in or near the city center. The true blues enthusiast can therefore easily attend various performances this evening.
