The 31st annual Byron Bay Bluesfest is taking place from 9th – 13th April 2020 and is set to be the best festival yet! The first of many line up announcements also includes the legend GEORGE BENSON and BRANDI CARLILE, both making their Bluesfest debuts.
Commenting on the announcement, Festival Director Peter Noble OAM said: “I was so pleased to hear all the positive feedback from our 30th Anniversary in 2019 and hope to take that to the next level in 2020.”
Showcasing music from around the world every Easter in Byron Bay, Bluesfest just celebrated its 30th Anniversary in 2019. From the humble beginnings in 1990 as a one-day event, the festival now takes place over five days, with over 200 performances in front of a crowd of up to 125,000 patrons in Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm – just 10 minutes north of Byron Bay, NSW, Australia. Bluesfest is Australia’s most awarded music festival ever!
