The most diverse edition in nuances and styles

A total of thirteen bands and more than twenty soloists will pass through the different stages of the contest.

Many of these performers will act together thanks to the sections Chicago and Crossroads, which, once again, will be the hallmark of the event by bringing together, for one night, great figures in unique performances.

Although the official presentation of the Bluesaldia, its program and the Hondarribia Blues 2018 prize have not been revealed yet, the festival brings forward the names of the main figures of this edition, to the satisfaction of the thousands of fans who are eagerly waiting for any news of the event, keeping some surprise for later.

The best-known names that will go through the different stages are undoubtedly the Canned Heat, the best-selling blues band in the history of music, that is well remembered for their appearances at the legendary Woodstock and Monterey festivals, and the charismatic Raimundo Amador, one of the main architects of the mixing between flamenco and other musics.
