Thank you, Bluesfest lords. The second announcement for the 2017 event is here, with some of our favourite internationals set to come through Byron Bay for some special shows over the Easter weekend. Mary J. Blige, Michael Kiwanuka, Corinne Bailey Rae and more have been announced today on the Bluesfest bill, as tickets for the multi-day festival continue to fly.
More announcements are still to come but in the meantime, cast your eyes on the below…
MARY J. BLIGE
CORINNE BAILEY RAE
MICHAEL KIWANUKA
NAHKO AND MEDICINE FOR THE PEOPLE
GALLANT
THE SUFFERS
“With over 50 million albums and 25 million singles song, 32 Grammy nominations (with nine wins), the greatest female soul singer of our time is coming,” Bluesfest Director Peter Noble has said of Blige’s addition to the 2017 proceedings. “Her performances are the stuff of legend. To say I am chuffed she is coming to Bluesfest, is an absolute understatement.”
With Bluesfest already halfway to the sold out mark, punters are encouraged to snap up their passes quickly to avoid disappointment. For more information on playing times, the range of ticket options still available and more, head to www.bluesfest.com.au.
