Byron Bay Bluesfest

Bluesfest is Australia's premier blues and roots festival, staged over the five days of the Easter long weekend at the Byron Events Farm at Tyagarah, just north of Byron Bay. Since 1990 it has hosted a who's who of international music, from BB King and Bob Dylan to Paul Simon, alongside the best Australian roots acts.
