Supporting artists include Ruby Turner, and The Blues Band. The rest of the festival line-up will be announced soon.
Jethro Tull headlines on Friday July 24th, John Mayall on Saturday 25th, and Taj Mahal on Sunday July 26th.

Over its short history, Maryport Blues Festival has grown from a one day event in the local civic hall into a three day event taking place from Friday 24th to Sunday 26th July at venues including The Wave Centre, in Maryport, Cumbria.
As well as two main stages there is usually a DJ room, a visual arts and workshop area, a festival club, film programme, children's festival, an expanded market festival bazaar, and a silent disco.
There are also numerous stalls selling musical instruments, crafts and so forth, Fair Trade goods, and information stalls on issues of global interest. Plus workshops include drumming and guitar.
