About

From Black Dyke classics to bhangra mash-ups, join us to celebrate the best in brass.

The Big Brass Blowout brings together a variety of class brass acts for three glorious days and nights of music across Bradford District. From traditional tunes to afrobeat rhythms, much-loved classics to one-off collaborations, expect the unexpected as we spotlight the power, versatility and all-round brilliance of the great British brass band. 

We’ll be announcing the full programme of concerts, events and opportunities for you to get involved in the coming months – including a free city-centre brass parade featuring some of the region’s finest ensembles. Mark your calendars now for this unmissable three-day brass party.
