Bluesfest has been a hugely popular musical celebration every Easter for over 35 years. Next year it all comes to an end.
Bluesfest, one of Australia's longest running and prestigious music festivals, will end forever after its 2025 event.
The festival has taken place almost every Easter since 1990, where it began as the East Coast Annual Blues Festival, headlined by American acts Charlie Musselwhite and Canned Heat at the Byron Bay Arts Factory.Over the next 34 years, the event grew massively, moving onto big outdoor spaces like Belongil Fields, Red Devil Park and its final home, the Byron Events Farm in Tyagarah, where over 100,000 people can visit the festival over the Easter weekend.
Musically, it evolved beyond its blues roots into a musical celebration that knew no genre boundaries, happily hosting the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Mary J Blige, and Jack Johnson alongside music royalty like BB King, Bob Dylan, Robert Plant and Grace Jones. "Bluesfest has been a labour of love, a celebration of music, community, and the resilient spirit of our fans," Festival director Peter Noble said in a statement.The festival has faced a raft of challenges over the years, most prominently the cancellation of its events in 2020 and 2021 due to public health orders relating to COVID-19."Next year's festival will be happening, but it will be our last. I want to make it the most unforgettable experience yet," Noble said.
