November 6 - 7 should have been a substantial 15th anniversary for Denmark's largest and multi-award-winning blues/soul festival in Arena Nord, Frederikshavn.

"The festival this year would have been a different event than initially planned. During the summer, it became clear that it was impossible to present the 15 American bands booked earlier. Instead, 11 carefully selected award-winning bands from 10 different countries in Europe had been urgently arranged."

Freddy's Bar in Frederikshavn was to host 3 special events in their atmospheric venue.

Please check out 2 different playlists here of artists who were booked to play Blues Heaven 2020. The music can be streamed on Apple Music, Spotify, Vimeo, Youtube, or downloaded as an mp3 to your favorite player.

GUIDED BLUESTRIP TO USA

When this spring's planned 14-day blues trip to the southern states was cancelled due to covid-19, we are trying to make the trip again in 2021. We are all familiar with the uncertainty of entering the US, but we have pre-booked with our US partners. There is a limited number of places so it is "First come, first served" principle. The final decision on the trip will be made in January.
