We’re well into October now, which means the months separating us from Byron Bay Bluesfest are quickly dwindling down. The organisers keep adding huge names like Neil Young and the recently announced Barry Gibb, and now they’ve got a string of new sideshows to share.
Organisers have announced a slew of sideshows all around Australia, so if you’re looking to get some one-on-one time with the likes of Rickie Lee Jones, Booker T & The Stax Record Revenue, Gregory Porter, or Jake Shimabukuro, you’re in luck.
Check below for the full list of all the newly announced Bluesfest 2017 sideshows, and keep checking in for more updates, with more dates no doubt soon to be announced.
