LITTLE STEVEN AND THE DISCIPLES OF SOUL. Plus more artists to be announced across five stages over five days!

Little Steven and his powerful 14-piece band the Disciples of Soul bring their critically acclaimed “Soulfire” Tour to Byron Bay. Each show takes fans on an epic and electrifying journey through Rock and Roll history led by one of its most passionate practitioners, Little Steven.

“A rousing, blow-the-roof-off-the-sucka, 15-member ensemble that has to be seen and heard to be believed…” – www.rgmagazine.com

“The best bands, like this one, know they have a job to do. If you have an arse at all, they are here to kick it for you…Van Zandt’s lifetime love affair with rock n’ roll, in all its myriad forms, shines through in every note played and sung tonight. A great show.” – Hot Press
