More Names Revealed For Great Southern Blues Festival

Three artists revealed in second announcement

The second announcement for the Great Southern Blues Festival has been announced, adding to the impressive calibre of the first reveal.

Sandi Thom, The Detonators and festival favourite Ash Grunwald, who returns from a lengthy US tour, will all take part in this year's festivities.

Thom, whom you may remember wished she was a punk-rocker with flowers in her hair, will make her debut performance at the Narooma festival after cancelling last year.

The stars join an already strong line-up headed by Rick Estrin & The Nightcats, and featuring The Paladins, Roy Rogers & The Delta Rhythm Kings and The Black Sorrows, though the revelations won't stop there with more announcements still to come.

Earlybird tickets are on sale now, though running out fast, and for the first time ever ticketholders will be offered a chance to score a premium backstage pass through the Upgrade competition, which will test the memory of long term festival goers. More details on the comp will be announced soon.

The Great Southern Blues Festival will run from Friday 3 to Sunday 5 October - for more info check out theGuide.
