The performances will take place at venues across the town centre over the next six months
A new programme of 124 live gigs to boost Blackburn ’s nightlife will hit the town centre over the next six months. Blackburn Gigs will see the live performances take place across bars, restaurants and town centre venues from now until March 2025 as part of a new pilot.
Blackburn Gigs is being delivered by Actual Music in partnership with Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council. The project is being funded by Arts Council England through its grassroots music fund as well as new government high street funding secured for King William Street and the surrounding area. Organisers hope the exciting mix of acts, performing across a range of genres, will ensure that there’s something for everyone to enjoy, whether it’s an acoustic set in a cosy bar or energetic bands in larger venues.
“We want residents and visitors to come and make a night of it here and we’ve launched the brand-new Discover Blackburn website with Blackburn BID to help highlight all there is to enjoy.”
