“After producing a digital version of Blues on Broadbeach in 2020, we can’t wait to throw open the doors and welcome back our festival fans new and old," said festival director Mark Duckworth.
"In 2021 we have curated a mix of artists to give the streets a party vibe and let live music entertain once more.”
“What fantastic news and what a line-up for 2021," added Gold Coast mayor Tom Tate of the event.
"Since lockdown, I’ve been dying to get amongst some great blues music, so with Tommy heading Down Under, I can see a record crowd milling around the main stages at Broadbeach."
"This event is iconic for the Goldie and I know thousands of people travel throughout Australia to get to it. Let’s get those trumpets, saxophones, and guitars humming in 2021."
