If you like your blues loud, sweaty, and delivered with a grin and a groove… this tour list is your new religion 🤘

🔥 RIFF REPORT BOTTOM LINE
For the price of two pints and a regrettable kebab, you can watch top-tier UK blues rock up close, feel the bass in your chest, and stagger home smiling like an idiot.
If you’re skint: go anyway.
If you’ve got spare cash: buy merch.
If you miss these shows: that one’s on you, butt 😈🤘
