THURSDAY 14TH – MONDAY 18TH APRIL 2022
BLUESFEST – THE GREATEST GATHERING OF AUSTRALIAN ARTISTS IN THE HISTORY OF AUSTRALIAN MUSIC
Today we proudly unveil the complete playing schedule for Bluesfest 2022. Gates will open in 57 days for our early fans, and music will kick off in 56 days. 105 artists – 6 stages – 200 performances … this is the greatest gathering of Australian Artists in the history of Australian Music.
Peter Noble OAM said today:
“At Bluesfest my team and I never looked back. Sure, we felt the sting of Covid – no-one escaped that – but we always looked forward to the day when we would present Bluesfest again – and that time is now only weeks away.”
“We have been preparing for this day , and we have some surprises in store. Some of the new infrastructure is already in place, other improvements move ahead with pace, and WE WILL BE READY to welcome you all back safely to our beautiful Bluesfest home at the Byron Events Farm.
FIFTY-SEVEN DAYS … it’s the blink of an eye!
We are all excited – we are buzzing with expectation. We are not opening the gates to an ordinary Bluesfest either. This Bluesfest will be EXTRA-SPECIAL. More spacious and improved festival grounds, an absolutely mind-blowing gathering of Australian talent plus some special guests from New Zealand, the USA, the UK, Africa, and Jamaica!! WOW ! … you will all have a great time.”
“The ticket sales reflect the feeling of the community of music lovers. Our big three weekend days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) rush ever closer to a sell-out – and if you are coming on these days you may wish to consider coming a day early for Bluesfest Thursday to witness the celebration of our Welcome To Country and be there as the first bands take to the stages and kick Bluesfest off in fine style. You’ll catch the final ever performance of The Cat Empire, the exclusive ‘once-in-a-musical-lifetime’ Honeydripper’s Dylan party with an all-star lineup, and the 60’s ‘revolution’ bands, Spectrum and Tamam Shud, both lit by the incredible Ellis D Fogg 60’s Psychedelic Liquid Lightshow. Or choose to end your Bluesfest stay with our Easter Monday Experience watching the likes of The Teskey Brothers, Pete Murray, The Waifs, Hiatus Kaiyote, Kate Ceberano, Sam Teskey, and Mick Thomas’ Roving Commission and many more. These two days will be more leisurely, and viewing will be easier.
It’s a ‘no-brainer’ – so much talent – so many great artists.
Choose that extra day – and head over here to secure your tickets.”
“Finally, thank you for sticking with us. Here is our Bluesfest 2022 Playing Schedule. See who is playing: on what day, on which stage and at what time!
START PLANNING YOUR BLUESFEST ADVENTURE NOW.
You will be part of the greatest gathering of Australian artists in the history of Australian Music.
As we herald the return of Live Music at a major level, I can safely say you will be witness to an historical event.”
Respect
Peter Noble OAM
