And just like that we'd once again come to the end of the Byron Bay Bluesfest. As the event's fifth day, it's fair to say that by now we were both exhausted and used to the exciting lifestyle that the festival offers. It's never an easy event to say goodbye to, especially after a year that housed one of its best lineups ever, and was without a doubt the best Bluesfest we've ever attended. Although my sore, sore feet beg to differ.

Kitty, Daisy and Lewis treated us Sydney-siders to a Bluesfest sideshow at The Metro Theatre.

There are some genres that will never die. They are the genres that paved the way for "Rock and Roll" as we know it today: Blues, Swing, Rockabilly, Jazz, Country and so on... and the reason we know it will never die is because not only do bands like Kitty, Daisy and Lewis - siblings from North London - exist, but they can pack out venues like the Metro in Sydney and have a thousand people dancing and singing along to every song.

Here are some of the latest Tour Updates for anticipated upcoming Australian tours!

While the second announcement for the 2012 leg of iconic festival the Big Day Out was announced today, some odd decisions in tweaking the lineup in certain cities also came through the wire.

All the action from the Hyde Park Palm Stage and Martin Place at Sydney Festival's First Night.
