Glastonbury Festival Of Contemporary Performing Arts - Areas - Bourbon Street

The music
Expect to hear Latin grooves, cool jazz, dirty blues, jump jive, swing and much, much more; in fact music that simply moves you, it will be one long party from start to finish, this is roots music in its purest form. 

The location
To find us, just head from the Pyramid Stage towards West Holts, pass the Bandstand on your right and keep a look out on your left and listen out for people having a great time! It will be well signed, don’t worry you won’t miss us. 

The drinks
The Bourbon Street bar will be well stocked with at least twenty of the world’s best bourbons, a superb selection of Champagne, pitchers of Pimms, fresh ground coffee, a great selection of beers and if you’re feeling really adventurous some of the best cocktails available on the festival site.

The times
There will be live acoustic music on Wednesday from 5pm until 11pm. For the remainder of the festival we will be open each day from 10:00am until 3:00am the following day. Do you reckon you can stand the pace? And remember, along with a whole host of truly international musicians and performers, always expect the unexpected. Plus of course our resident DJ will be spinning some hot tunes between the live music acts.

The line-up
For 2011, we will have a whole host of cool jazz and the hottest blues featuring artists from around the world, all set in an authentic recreation of a New Orleans bar. You can listen to world class artists appearing on our stage throughout the Festival, partake of your favourite tipple, soak up the exotic atmosphere and of course lose yourself in the music.
