Bluesfest Adds More Big Name Aus Acts To 2021 Line-up

"Pinch me, my dream is coming true to see festivals occurring again in Australia."

With less than a month to go until it kicks off, Bluesfest has unveiled another major artist announcement, featuring some big local names for the Byron Bay event.

Taking over Byron Events Farm (formerly Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm) from 1-5 April, this year’s event will be an all-Aussie affair, with organisers previously confirming Jimmy Barnes, The Teskey Brothers, Tash Sultana, Kasey Chambers, Kev Carmody, Ocean Alley, Russell Morris, Briggs, The Living End and more, and today’s announcement sees another nine acts join the bill.

Australian legends Pete Murray, Mark Seymour & The Undertow and Kate Ceberano have all been confirmed for Easter Monday, while Fiona Boyes & The Fortune Tellers, Lambros, The Regime, Round Mountain Girls, Electrik Lemonade and Palm Valley also sign on for the festival.

“We can't wait to be presenting Bluesfest in four weeks. Pinch me, my dream is coming true to see festivals occurring again in Australia,” Festival Director Peter Noble OAM said.

“With the addition of nine more sensational Australian artists to our already magnificent line-up, I am convinced this will be one of the great Bluesfests.

“Pete Murray, Mark Seymour & The Undertow and Kate Ceberano join our headline line-up to play on the final day of Bluesfest – and this will make Easter Monday a special day to be at Bluesfest. In fact, Easter Monday is shaping up now to be one of the highlight days of the Easter weekend.”

Last month, it was revealed that Bluesfest had been given the green light to proceed in April as their COVID-19 safety plan had been approved by the NSW Government.
