Byron Bay Blues Festival : Day 6 Added!

Bluesfest says;

Today’s artist lineup announcement for the extra day follows worldwide and national press covering the attempts by a couple of Byron Shire Councilors to sabotage the event’s submission to secure an extra day for locals and visitors, to see Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello and other headliners, which would also bring further business to the local Byron economy.

I’m surprised they are making a big deal of it – they got approval, now even more people will get the chance to enjoy the festival.
