Stop everything! Part one of the 2017 Bluesfest line-up dropped today.
The festival is launching into its 28th event with a bang, featuring a sweet list of newly found acts as well as some favourites from past years.
The five-day Easter extravaganza is being held, once again, at Tyagarah Tree Farm, and is promising to be more epic than ever before.
According to Festival Director Peter Noble, today's announcement has been a long time coming: “It must be hard to believe, but it is very true, that months, and in a few cases years of work have gone into this artist announcement,” he says.
