BluesFest 2014 will feature Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow and Van Morrison

BluesFest will take place to the Royal Albert Hall this autumn, for an extended six-day event. It will, once again, feature international stars from the worlds of blues, soul, jazz, R&B and beyond.

The is the fourth annual edition and it represents of the highlights of the live music calendar. BluesFest made history last year when it relocated to the Royal Albert Hall and became the iconic building's first ever full-scale music festival.

The four day event was a resounding success, with over 40 000 music fans who had the time of their lives due to Robert Plant, Ronnie Wood, Bobby Womack, Van Morrison, Gregory Porter, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Mavis Staples, Chris Rea and many more. 

This year's festival will feature a world class line-up, as well! It will mark the return of the most indelible artists of the 20th century, the legendary Van Morrison (Oct 28th), songwriting icon Elvis Costello (Oct 29th), the inimitable Georgie Fame (who opens for Costello on Oct 29th), multi-Grammy-winning Sheryl Crow (Oct 31st) and chart-topping jazz funk outfit Level 42 (Oct 26th).

All these artists mentioned above give credit to the blues as the start of their musical journeys.

Elvis Costello: "I've waited a, long, long time to share a bill with Georgie Fame. There is no better address to do it than Albert's Royal Hall. Fame at last!"

BluesFest 2014 will be hosted exclusively at the Royal Albert Hall and other galla rooms nearby. Some of the additional daytime activity introduced in 2013 will return, including intimate sessions from festival artists, exclusive exhibitions, showcases, and an 'In Conversation With' series.

The event will run from Sunday 26th till Friday 31st October. Tickets are available from www.livenation.co.uk or www.ticketmaster.co.uk or www.royalalberthall.com
