A message from Peter Noble OAM, Bluesfest Festival Director.
“I hope you feel as we do about the Bluesfest lineup”.
“Not only is it one of the best bills in the festival’s history, I believe it is the festival bill of the season”.
“Sticky Fingers, the bad boys of Australian music, currently on their sell-out UK Tour, will be playing one of their all-too-rare shows in Australia. They have only played a handful in the last five years, and Bluesfest is happy to welcome them back.
“Sampa The Great has been truly discovered on a worldwide basis. She plays all the major festivals these days, including Glastonbury, Coachella, Primavera, Lollapalooza and Newport Jazz Festival. Now for the first time, she’ll be appearing at Bluesfest on Easter Saturday.
“A Sampa The Great show is full of surprises, incredible dancing, and she isn’t afraid to walk the walk.
“The first time I saw The Heartfelt Tribute to Uncle Archie in association with The Archie Roach Foundation at the Woodford Folk Festival, there was a standing ovation for this incredible outpouring of love. The whole room was crying, it was incredibly emotional, and I am so proud to have this Tribute at Bluesfest”.
“Fools absolutely blitzed at Bluesfest 2022; how could we not bring them back this year? And Jerome Williams is a don’t-miss Gold Coast artist”.
Bluesfest will take place over 5 days from Thursday 6th to Monday 10th April 2023 at the Byron Events Farm, Tyagarah, NSW, AUSTRALIA.
All 5-Day Season tickets, including festival entry, camping & add-ons, parking and VIP are on sale now via the Bluesfest website.
