Ben Harper & Charlie Musselwhite Lock Down Splendour In The Grass Sideshows

Just when you thought all the 2018 Splendour In The Grass sideshow announcements were done, headliners Ben Harper & Charlie Musselwhite unveil a run of national headline dates.

Visiting Australia this July in support of the second collaborative album, No Mercy in This Land, the duo will now play five dates across the country with a five-piece line-up before taking to the SITG stage.

“Charlie Musselwhite is that very rare and hallowed place where blues past, present and future collide,” Harper said.

“He transforms notes into emotions that feel both hauntingly familiar and brand new, as if hearing them for the first time every time."
