Ivan Neville, Pete Cornelius Join The Great Southern Blues Festival

The Great Southern Blues Festival has announced its fifth list of additions to the bill, with four acts combining both veteran experience and new blood consolidating the varied lineup that has been slowly announced over the past two months.

Led by New Orleans multi-instrumentalist Ivan Neville, the band known as one of the most spontaneous acts in the world, Dumpstaphunk, will bring together Neville on a B3 and piano, adding the sounds of two bass guitars, guitar and drums  to create a live experience that Great Southern Blues punters won't forget.


Pete Cornelius returns to Narooma – playing the festival more than any act – and this time, he has reunited The Devilles for the first time in over a decade, playing a special one off performance bringing the sounds of the band's original lineup to fans again.

Two Sydney acts also make their Great Southern Blues Festival debut, with Dynamic Hepnotics and The Mighty Reapers frontman Robert Susz bringing The Continental Blues Party to fans despite the band's decreasing live schedule, as well as young act energetic roots and reggae Lime Cordiale adding something a bit different to the weekend.

Here's the full lineup as it stands so far, with even more acts still to be announced.

The festival hits Narooma from Friday 4 October to Sunday 6 October, with General Advance Tickets on sale now.
