“The quality and talent on the Bluesfest lineup next Easter long weekend is incomparable and unmatched,” director Peter Noble said.

“SIX60, who helped us celebrate our 30th anniversary back in 2019 and were one of the highlights of that great year are coming back, and have they ever gone up in the world since they last graced us with their presence.

“ARIA Hall of Famers Hoodoo Gurus, with their 40+ year history and anthemic songbook to match, are going to enthral Bluesfest attendees with the songs from their 16 albums. Also playing Good Friday is Yolngu artist, Baker Boy, the Young Australian of the Year in 2019, who is releasing his first album ‘Gela’ in October.”

“I pinch myself every time I look at this growing lineup of exceptional talent that will be heading to Bluesfest.”
