A huge twelve more artists have been added to the already packed Bluesfest line-up for next year's event.
Joining the ranks are English ska icons Madness, who will bring their blend of ska, British pop and soul to Bluesfest for the first time coming Easter. Starting out as the North London Invaders in 1976, Madness have remained a British Phenomenon completing the ‘ultimate invasion’ by performing their momentous hit ‘Our House’ on the rooftop of Buckingham Palace at the Queens Diamond Jubilee Concert.
Patti Smith and her band will grace the Bluesfest audience with a powerful acoustic set on 14 April. This is in addition to the performance on opening night (13 April) when Patti Smith and her band perform 'Horses'.
