Blues and BBQ Festival 2024

Get ready for the ultimate weekend of Blues and BBQ in Rotorua!

Festival enthusiasts, mark your calendars! The highly anticipated New Zealand Blues and BBQs festival is set to return on November 29th to December 1st, 2024, at the scenic Village Green in Rotorua.

New Zealand Blues and BBQs are thrilled to reveal an exceptional line-up for this year's festival, featuring an impressive roster of international and homegrown artists. Prepare to be mesmerized by the following acts, among others:

• "Sir" Midge Marsden
• The Human Instinct
•  Additional artists to be announced.

The overwhelming support from blues fans throughout New Zealand has been instrumental in the festival's continued success. Artists relish the opportunity to perform at Blues and BBQs, where they encounter an exuberant and devoted audience in the breathtaking setting of Rotorua. Year after year, we are privileged to secure the remarkable talent for this event.

Adding to the festive atmosphere, local pit masters and winners of the “Cooks on Fire” TV show, Black Label Barbecue, will be back again this year. Shaun and Alia Branson entered the world of competitive barbecue in 2018, stacking up numerous trophies across low and slow, and hot and fast categories. Last year, their food was such a fan favourite, they sold out.

Black Label Barbecue won’t be the only smoky, savoury and sweet BBQ masters on site. This festival is a true paradise for BBQ lovers.

Festival goers will experience the raw emotion and powerful performances of some of the best blues artists in Aotearoa. The event is family-friendly fun with a range of activities for all ages, making it a perfect weekend getaway for families

Given the limited availability of only 3000 tickets daily, an early sellout is anticipated. The organizers are well aware of the heightened expectations of this year's crowd and are committed to surpassing them.
