There’s a few more surprises in store for Bluesfest Byron Bay fans yet, with more announcements still on the way but this morning, the organisers have doled out a few more names to keep it all pushin’. On today’s bill, Bluesfest welcomes the likes of Madness, Rhiannon Giddens and the Miles Electric Band to the party, while Patti Smith and her band will be performing a special acoustic set in addition to their headline performance of Horses on the Thursday night.
Festival Director Peter Noble has noted his excitement surrounding this latest festival addition news, “I feel this is one of our best announcements for music lovers. Theres is a Blues announcement coming to you next week!”
