More Bluesfest Bluesfest Profile

Veteran US hip hop outfit Jurassic 5 have announced the roster of acts who will grace their Bluesfest sideshow stages as support acts, with long-serving Aussie outfit 1200 Techniques named among the special few.

The Melburnian hip hop crew will lend their talents to Jurassic 5's tour in Melbourne, at Festival Hall, on Wednesday, 1 April. Also joining Jurassic 5 for their solid spread of standalone dates will be DJ Mathmatics (of Zulu Nation) and Jayteehazard (Panthers, Newcastle, 26 Mar); DJ 26th Letter (Waves, Wollongong, 27 Mar; Enmore Theatre, Sydney, 28 Mar); and DJ Nick One (The Tivoli, Brisbane, 4 Apr).

Jurassic 5 will also be performing at Perth's West Coast Blues & Roots Festival on Sunday, 29 Mar, with their Melbourne and Brisbane shows filling the space between that event and their ultimate destination at Byron Bay Bluesfest.

Yesterday, Bluesfest unveiled even more of the acclaimed acts filling guest roles for its touring drawcards, including Karl S Williams, Rebelution, Caravana Sun, SOJA and more. See the announcement here.
