Veranstaltungsdetails
"S Glaibasel het dr Blues..." (Glaibasel has the blues…)
On Friday, June 30, 2023 - the last Friday before the Basel school summer vacations - the "Glaibasel" will once again be all about the blues: It's Summerblues time!
Blues fans from near and far can once again look forward to an attractive program with many highlights at Switzerland's largest open-air blues event:
"Summerblues Basel - s Glaibasler Bluesfescht" offers more than 50 hours of top-class live blues for free, celebrated by 37 bands on seven stages, at five new smaller venues of "Blues uff der Gass" and for the first time at "Blues'n'Dine".
"Blues uff der Gass" was launched in 2015 with great success: without much technology, renowned blues musicians and promising talents perform here in the style of street musicians in a small setting. This year even at five venues and for the first time directly on the Rhine.
Also celebrating a premiere is the new format "Blues'n'Dine" - on the Café Spitz terrace, a multi-course menu is accompanied by first-class acoustic blues.
Early table reservations are recommended - from 10 p.m. this venue will also be open to blues fans who do not wish to order the special "Blues'n'Dine" menu.
For the eighth time in a row, the final of the "Swiss Blues Challenge" will be held as part of Summerblues Basel. At the Volkshaus Basel, four bands will compete against each other in front of an expert jury for the title of Swiss Blues Champion. The winner of this renowned competition - sponsored by "Summerblues Basel" - will represent Switzerland at the "European Blues Challenge 2025".
Food and drink will be provided by 40 hospitable and creative restaurants and catering partners with pubs, bars and stands at all venues and throughout the festival area.
In addition to the voluntary work of the organizing team, this unique event is made possible by the commitment of numerous sponsors, patrons and partners.
Yours in blues,
OK Summerblues Basel
