The Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival 2026

MAIN VENUES THE MUNI THEATRE

The Muni Theatre makes a welcome return to the Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival for the first time since 2022. Fittingly, it's a venue with deep festival roots, having hosted performances during the inaugural event in 1990. Fresh from its £1.5 million refurbishment, The Muni is once again ready to welcome blues fans for a memorable weekend. 18:30 – 19:30 Sloetrain Blues Band Since forming in 2014, Sloetrain Blues Band has become a familiar name on the UK blues circuit, earning praise for its distinctive original material and powerful live performances. Blending driving blues with rock influences, the five-piece has built a loyal following through appearances at festivals and venues across the country. Their latest album, Kings of Saturday Night, marks the next chapter for the band, showcasing infectious grooves, thoughtful songwriting and soaring guitar work. As Pink Floyd's Nick Mason observed, "It's great to hear a band delivering strong original material" – a fitting tribute to this exciting British blues outfit. FRIDAY 28TH AUGUST
