B.B.’s Blues’ Back
The rest of the lineup features Blues Festival newbies George Thorogood & The Destroyers, Joe Bonamassa, Shane Henry, and Chuck Berry swapping around dates.
Of course, B.B. King will be on all dates, which span August 3 through September 22. Chastain Park in Atlanta will once again host the festival for a two-night stand, August 23 and 24.
Although last year’s festival saw the name change to Lloyd’s Blues Music Festival, it didn’t appear to confuse fans as Buddy Guy, John Hiatt, Tommy Castro and B.B. lured crowds once more.
Meanwhile, King doesn’t let age slow him down one bit. The revered guitarist starts his North American tour May 24 and wails straight on through the end of June when he hops the pond for some gigs in the U.K. and Switzerland.
