Blues, blues and more blues.

The Coopers Blues Music Festival returns for its eighth year in October, offering up an incredible (and free) celebration of all things blues.

This year’s festival finds a new home at The Paddock at Fed Square after spending years at Docklands. The new location is far more accessible and convenient, festival organisers say.

Heading to the Wonderland Spiegeltent for this year’s Coopers Blues Music Festival are homegrown singer-guitarist Jimi Hocking and his Blues Machine, modern blues outfit Dreamboogie, Blue Sunday, The McNamarr Project and plenty more stellar acts.

To complement the stellar lineup, a huge array of food trucks, venues and the Coopers Garden Bar will be serving up the goods as you boogie the night away.
