George Benson, Patti Smith and Her Band, Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles, Larkin Poe and The Wailers tours re-scheduled to 2022.
Dealing with sudden border closures and scant information from governments in regard to legal venue capacities, it has been a nightmare for local concert promoters to present live music during the pandemic. As a result of current conditions, Bluesfest has decided to present an All-Australian event for 2021, which will be a wonderful celebration of local music for punters over the Easter period. However, many music fans still hold tickets for Bluesfest international acts’ side shows from the cancelled 2020 cycle. Bluesfest Touring can now finally announce that (at least) five of its re-scheduled 2021 artists are now re-scheduled to April 2022 – and tickets are on sale!
The Bluesfest team is also working on re-scheduling the other tours – Marcus King Band, LP, and Morcheeba – and will advise their re-scheduled dates as soon as possible. Please hold on to your tickets.
