Bluesfestival Baden

The Baden Blues Festival enters its 21st round and takes place on Theaterplatz. The city-center festival venue offers good music, the finest cuisine, an inviting atmosphere and a top headliner in Robert Cray.

Of course, as always, the audience will be treated to a musical treat. Together with arguably the best blues band, US blues and soul legend Robert Cray will set the tone for the Baden 2024 Blues Festival on Theaterplatz on the first evening.

Other international acts will also be coming to Theaterplatz, such as the authentic house-rocking blues band Jimmy and the Sleepers from Canada, the outstanding musician Kai Strauss from Germany, the immortal and humorous Mojo Blues Band from Austria and the French guitar duo Mathis & Benoît.

And it continues with performances by Swiss musicians such as former "Voice of Germany" contestant Dan Mudd, who impresses with his smoky voice and precise guitar technique and will be gracing the festival together with percussionist bearbeat, the up-and-coming multi-talent Riana from Appenzell, who will leave a lasting impression on the audience with her specially composed and written songs and her expressive and direct manner, as well as the genre-exploring singer Manu Hartmann, who has been nominated twice for the Swiss Blues Award, and the Swiss Blues Award winner Lilly Martin.

Before and after the concerts, a large selection of food trucks, a bar with wines, beer, cocktails and soft drinks and cozy lounges and niches invite connoisseurs to linger.

In addition to the offerings on Theaterplatz, the audience can also enjoy well-known and popular formats such as the Jam Session in the CoCo (formerly Club Joy), the Blues Service in the Reformed Church of Baden and the BluesBrunch and Showcase in the Hotel du Parc.

Before the festival week, the Bluesfestival Baden will be "on tour" with two events: on May 1, Richard Koechli & Blue Roots Company and argovia philharmonic strings will be on stage together with the blues'n'classic project in the Reithalle Aarau and on May 11, the BluesSchiff will be out on Lake Hallwil with two bands - the Acoustic Blues Drifters and Amaury Faivre.
