The Burgos Blues Festival is one of the established blues gatherings in northern Spain, with a programme that mixes international artists touring Europe, national bands and local names from the Burgos circuit. The headline shows are spread across plazas in the historic centre and cultural venues near the Cathedral, and the night carries on at partner bars where jam sessions work as a natural extension of the festival.

For bands, brewers and sponsor bars, the operational brief has three fronts. First, the open-air plaza shows, where merch is sold at a stand and needs pieces that survive July heat and crowd movement between performances. Second, the activations of the sponsoring craft brewers, who usually mount temporary bars at the shows and need glasses, coasters and aprons carrying the shared festival-brewer brand. Third, the jam sessions at partner bars, where merch works almost as a credential between musicians. The combination of plaza, bar and night bar forces differentiated runs and packaging resilient to a week of heat and noise.

Recommended merch kit for the Burgos Blues Festival

Stage apparel for bands and crew

Heavyweight black or natural-ecru tees with a one-colour screen print of the year's poster, dark polos for the production team and a hooded sweatshirt for the late-night plaza shows. Built to wash between dates and to take July heat on outdoor stages.

Stand merch for in-venue sales

Vinyl and CD releases in small runs, embroidered patches, enamel pins with the festival logo and heavy cotton tote bags with a discreet mark. Runs tuned to the stand's capacity, packed in rigid boxes that survive several days of heat and dust.

Sponsor activations for craft brewers

Screen-printed glass or food-grade polypropylene pints, heavy card coasters, bib aprons carrying the shared festival-brewer brand and collectable enamel pins per edition. Runs sized to cover both shows and temporary bars.

Showcase kits for bar jam sessions

Heavy card coasters with brand mark, screen-printed matchboxes or bottle openers, small canned beer sets and ceramic mugs for partner bars. Short runs to top up between night sessions.

Production, VAT and city delivery

We produce from our Madrid hub with EUR pricing exclusive of IVA 21%, added on the B2B invoice and reported via FACe/SII to the Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria (AEAT); intra-EU buyers can apply the reverse-charge mechanism where applicable. Runs are sized to a multi-day regional festival: 30–80 pieces per reference for stage apparel, 200–600 for stand merch, 300–1,000 for brewer activations and 50–150 for jam session kits. Burgos is well connected by the A-1 and AP-1, so delivery is coordinated with a named consignee at a plaza in the historic centre, a hotel near the Cathedral or the festival's main venue, with a buffer on the Paseo del Espolón to cover the gap between afternoon set-up and the night sessions at partner bars.

A blues-in-July specific consideration is that boxes must arrive labelled with the plaza or bar of destination, because the festival operation splits boxes to several points each day and a labelling mistake means a band's merch ends up at another band's stand. We recommend every box carries the band name, the assigned stage and the date of use visibly, and that restock be kept at a central festival storage point for last-minute breaks or rapid sales.

Indicative planning timeline

  1. Eight to ten weeks out: close the year's poster and the product list per band and brewer; decide the artwork for stands and temporary bars; reserve production capacity for screen-printed glasses and coasters for sponsor activations.
  2. Five to six weeks out: approve a physical or production-grade sample, validate Pantones in sober tones (black, ecru, navy) and close the bilingual ES/EN packaging for press and partner programmers.
  3. Three to four weeks out: launch full production with batch-level quality control, label each box with band, stage and date, and reserve restock at the festival's central storage point.
  4. Final week: reconfirm the delivery window to the festival's main venue, the plaza and partner bar contacts, the Paseo del Espolón hotel buffer and the collection plan for leftover material after the closing jam session.

Frequently asked questions

When exactly does the Burgos Blues Festival take place?

Historically the festival fills several days during July, with open-air shows in historic-centre plazas and night-time sessions at partner bars. The exact dates of each edition are published in the cultural programme of the Burgos city council and should be confirmed before runs are fixed.

Can merch be delivered directly to the plazas in the historic centre?

Yes, provided it is coordinated with the festival organisation and arrives within the agreed set-up window for each show. Because the historic centre has narrow pedestrian streets, we usually split between the main venue, a plaza with van access and a hotel buffer near the Cathedral.

What is a sensible minimum order for a sponsor craft brewer?

For screen-printed glasses and coasters we usually work with minimums of three hundred units per reference; for shared aprons and apparel the usual minimums are fifty per piece; and collectable pins accept bigger runs to cover both shows and temporary bars.

Is Corp-Merch a partner or official supplier of the Burgos Blues Festival?

No. Corp-Merch is an independent external supplier that helps bands, brewers, partner bars and cultural press present during the event prepare their own merch. It does not organise, sponsor or represent the festival or the Burgos city council.
