[News] BLUESFEST 2020/21 SIDESHOWS RESCHEDULED TO 2022

As previously announced late last year that the 2021 re-scheduled shows from 2020 would be re-scheduled, Bluesfest Touring is now thrilled to announce that (at least) five of its re-scheduled 2021 artists are now re-scheduled to April 2022 – and tickets are on sale!

Please note we are 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.

As restrictions begin to lift and people dream of days when we can dance again, Bluesfest Touring is thrilled to announce that (at least) fourteen of its cancelled 2020 artists will be returning in 2021.

The team has been hard at work along with artist’s management to ensure there will be a future for international touring in Australia in 2021, and with the space of a good ten to twelve months we can be confident – we will dance again!

Bluesfest Touring appreciates the patience of its valued patrons and are glad to advise that information relating to the rescheduled dates including a refund process will be communicated to everyone by the end of the day (May 20th), ticket-holders are encouraged to check their inbox and spam for an email from the ticketing company.

We look forward to celebrating this incredible talent with you in 2021!
