Yes, it’s time to take a breath and sit down!!

Peter Noble, Bluesfest Director says:

“Adding Paul Simon to Bluesfest 2013 is pretty mind blowing, even for me, your Festival Director.

I knew the line-up was going to be massive, but it just keeps getting bigger. So many incredible artists are going to perform at Bluesfest, it really is every Festival Director’s dream come true and I am so humbled. Announcing Robert Plant a couple of weeks ago and now adding Paul Simon, it’s like: Wow…we are really doing it this time and I actually think we are breaking all previous records. This is going to be the best Bluesfest of all time and guess what? There are at least another 4 announcements to come featuring major artists.”

The 24th Bluesfest will take place between Thursday 28th of March and Monday 1st of April 2013 at Bluesfest’s permanent home at Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm just outside of Byron Bay.
