Blue Nation

AWARD-WINNING BRITISH BLUES ROCK TRIO BLUE NATION BRING HEADLINE TO THE FACTORY LIVE

Birmingham has birthed legends from Black Sabbath to Duran Duran, now Blue Nation are poised to claim the city’s next global headline. Fronted by powerhouse singer-guitarist Neil Murdoch, anchored by groove-master Luke Weston (bass, backing vocals), and driven by the explosive Nick Sharman on drums, this trio is igniting a new era of arena-ready blues-rock.

Blue Nation fuse the swagger of classic British rock, Beatles, Cream, Zeppelin, with the modern fire of Rival Sons and Vintage Trouble. The result: riff-rich, melodic blues-rock that feels both timeless and thrillingly fresh. It’s music built to shake stadiums and win over the world.

From two triumphant New York City tours to dominating the Main Music Stage at the F1 British Grand Prix (twice), Blue Nation’s live show is pure electricity. Whether an intimate acoustic set or a full-tilt festival, their chemistry and fearless energy leave audiences shouting for more.
