Blow Up Discotheque Luxembourg - Memories and Stories

04/15/2026

Hey Blow Up fans! I just had a large poster version of the Queen concert made! I had a printing copy company do a digital scan from my original and the poster looks incredible! I was in Lux for the Radio Luxembourg Ghosts of Ville Louvigny exhibit and Tony Prince thought the Queen poster was very cool! If you are interested in a copy let me know. I will check on printing and shipping costs from the US.

Did you all see this 2023 article regarding the 50th anniversary of the Queen show at the Blow Up?!

In 1973, Luxembourg hosted an up-and-coming rock band that went on to make its mark on music history

Good day from the USA! Wanted folks to know I have starting working on a Wikipedia page for the Blow Up! There is a lot involved in getting a page started. Once we get the base page up and running, it will be very helpful to have folks review the content and provide information, clarifications and corrections as may be needed. I hope to include with the page concert dates by the various bands that played at the club. It would also be fun to provide a listing of the DJ's as we had some great ones spinning disks! Let me know your thoughts!

Good Morning Blow Up fans! Happy Holidays! It has been a few months since our wonderful visit to Luxembourg. I wanted to share some thoughts and updates on our visit.

One of the highlights of the trip was the visit to the Gotham Luxembourg to tour the club. We met with the current owner Bob and shared my stories and posters of concert events at the Blow Up. The club is so different now but the memories of the Blow Up clearly stood out when we toured the venue.

I was also so fortunate to be asked to participate in an interview for the documentary being developed about Radio Luxembourg. The documentary will be coming out in 2025. I was interviewed about my experiences at the Blow Up focusing on concerts and especially my memories about the Queen concert on 10.14.1973. It was an honor to participate in this historical documentary and I look forward to returning to Luxembourg for the preview event next year.

Finally we met folks and shared memories about the Blow Up. It was a wonderful visit!
