Bluesfest, Australia’s multi award winning five Day annual Easter Festival, shares a little Christmas Joy by revealing it’s 3rd round of artists appearing at Bluesfest 2012.
“We are so excited about this announcement; we simply could not hold it back. It’s our Christmas present to you,” Festival Director Peter Nobel said.
“It’s all about the next generation of emerging artists as well as a few artists who are headliners in their own right.”
“The blend of music across the board is quite staggering. Everything from Ska-Punk, Reggae, Hip Hop, Dub, Folk, Roots, American Soul to Alt-Country! Wow – there is something in here for everyone!
“After securing some of the legendary heavyweights, it’s always an immense pleasure to announce some of our favourite Australian musicians and I’m stoked to be adding them to the incredible line-up. Let the countdown begin”.
The 3rd Bluesfest artist announcement includes: Sublime with Rome, Zappa Plays Zappa, Dawes, James Vincent McMorrow, Josh Pyke, Blue King Brown, Eileen Jewell, 1814, Busby Marou and Melbourne Ska Orchestra.
