Little Birdy, Coterie & More Lead Blues at Bridgetown 2025 Lineup

Blues at Bridgetown is back for 2025, and it’s packing one hell of a lineup.

The beloved WA festival will return to the picturesque town of Bridgetown from November 7th–9th, bringing with it a stacked bill of blues, roots, and soul legends — led this year by Eugene ‘Hideaway’ Bridges, Little Birdy, and Coterie.

Blues at Bridgetown has built a cult following over three decades thanks to its killer music curation, small-town charm and springtime vibes, and 2025 is shaping up to be one of its most memorable years yet.

A born performer raised on rhythm and soul, Eugene ‘Hideaway’ Bridges is a New Orleans native who’s taken his guitar and booming voice everywhere from the Mississippi Delta to the pubs of WA. He’ll bring his signature southern blues to the main stage — and if past sets are anything to go by, it’ll be a masterclass in feel-good, gut-punching live music.

Joining him are indie rock favourites Little Birdy, reuniting for a run of shows to mark the 21st anniversary of their debut album bigbiglove. Fronted by Katy Steele, the band were key players in the early 2000s Aussie alt-rock boom and are finally giving fans the chance to relive that era live.

Also on headline duties are Coterie, the WA/NZ band of brothers who’ve carved out a loyal following with their sun-soaked, harmony-driven brand of modern rock. Their live shows are a mix of intimacy, power and years of shared musical DNA.

The wider bill covers everything from folk to roots to good ol’ pub rock, with sets from 19-Twenty, Frank Sultana, Great Gable, Azure Ryder, Jack Botts, merci mercy, Jeff Lang, Matty T Wall, Melody Pool, Kyle Lionhart, Hussy Hicks, Smoke Stack Rhino, Natural Boogie, Stellar Moon, Teeny Tiny Stevies and dozens more.
