Get Them While You Still Can - Bluesfest 2017 Tickets To Be Taken Off Sale Next Week

We're still a good nine months away from Byron Bay's annual Bluesfest but, due to surging ticket sales, organisers have today announced that tickets for the 2017 event will be taken off sale next week.

Following a stellar festival this past April that included the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Brian Wilson, an unprecedented amount of tickets have already been sold for next year and therefore tickets will be taken off sale until the first artist announcement which is expected later in the year. 

Punters are urged to get in while they still can as ticket prices will be higher when they are available for purchase again. 

Festival director Peter Noble is currently in Europe scouting talent for the 2017 festival. 

"Bluesfest 2017 is shaping up to be a very special year," Noble said.

"I have been travelling and meeting artist’s managers and agents in the US and the UK recently, and I can say it's all coming together brilliantly. Whilst I don't always get all the artists I approach to play, this coming year, so far, is looking like one for the books.

"We are now in the process of finalising negotiations with some of the world's most famous artists...I can tell you this, without a shadow of a doubt, Bluesfest 2017 will be one of our greatest events. This is our passion and what we live for."
