It seems Bluesfest just won’t stop growing.

Despite suffering the loss of both Neil Young and Barry Gibb, the festival organisers have recovered from their setbacks and delivered a truly impressive lineup.

The newest addition to the bill is Australia’s own living legend, Courtney Barnett, a noted Patti Smith-ophile who will also be playing an exclusive show with her idol in Melbourne.

The pair are set to amaze Bluesfest punters, with Barnett bringing her trademark guitar chops to the event.

Bluesfest runs from Thursday April 13 to Monday April 17 at Tyagarah Tea Farm. For tickets, head here.
