Another great year -
and now for the next!

A massive thanks to all the venues, artists and most of all, you the gig-goers, for yet another amazing festival! It was great to see Dereham alive with music and buzzing with atmosphere, as thousands flocked to watch over 100 live performances by more than 50 artists over 5 days - even the weather played ball and the storms stayed away. But nothing stands still, and we on the Festival committee now start work on making next year's festival even bigger and better.

To this end, we have set the festival dates for 2024 - the European Cup has made things a little more complicated, and we have had to slip back a week, but Dereham will be the place to go from Wednesday 10th to Sunday 14th July 2024, giving you the opportunity to see the best of blues music, and ending the weekend watching England play Scotland in the final on Sunday evening (well, we can dream, can't we?).

Applications to play will open at the start of November as usual, and we will be selecting our headline acts over the next few weeks, so stay in touch with us here to keep abreast of developments. And have a great summer!
