After its 2021 event was cancelled the day before the festival was set to begin, Bluesfest continue to roll with the punches announcing new, revised 2021 dates.
"Bluesfest 2021 will be back this year over the October Long Weekend – Friday, 1st of October to Monday, 4th of October," the festival said in a statement."The new October season is a jam-packed 4 days. . . but this does not mean that current 5-day season ticket holders miss out. We have something very special in store for you – this will be announced next week!
"Trust us when we say the wait will have all been worth it. WE. ARE. RISING and this event JUST. GOT. EVEN. BIGGER.
"That's right – we have been adding more of Australia's absolute best talent! It's our way of saying thank you to all of you who have supported us during this time."
The original Bluesfest (scheduled for the Easter long weekend) was already close to selling out, and after processing the rollover of current patrons, there will only be a limited availability of tickets.
"We are expecting to see sales reach capacity. So, for those who don't yet have a ticket and wish to buy, you can join the waitlist and be the first to get dibs on tickets next week." Register your details.
The new line-up is scheduled to drop next Wednesday (19 May); stay tuned.
2021 Bluesfest will take place at Byron Events Farm 1-4 October.
