Now in its 6th year, The Durban International Blues Festival is an annual event considered a fixture on the Celebrate Durban Programme of events. The event has received acclaim within the global blues community and is achieving its aim of becoming synonymous with Durban. With a full programme of free concerts through the week, culminating in ticketed gala performances which conclude the festival, The DIBF boasts local, national and international names on their bill.
The Festival also supports two charities, Shepherds Keep and The Daily News Milk Fund and co-ordinates musical educational outreach programmes and master classes during the festival to “polish developing artists”.
The Durban International Blues Festival runs from September 25 to October 3 at Wilsons Wharf and Catalina Theatre. Entry fees vary with some concerts being free, while others are ticketed. For a full programme visit www.durbanbluesfestival.co.za
