Monday, August 26, 2024 Bluesfest Byron Bay, Australia’s most iconic and highly awarded music festival, is thrilled to unveil the first wave of artists set to perform at the grand finale in 2025. The anticipation is building as the second wave of announcements is already in the pipeline. This lineup promises to continue the tradition of showcasing some of the finest talent from Australia and around the globe.

As the nation’s premier and most decorated music festival, we are proud to present four headline acts in this announcement, ensuring that the final Bluesfest stays true to its roots with a celebration of the best in Blues, Roots music, and beyond. We are pulling out all the stops to deliver a lineup that embodies everything Bluesfest stands for: world-class music, unforgettable performances, and a community that passionately supports live music. Leading the charge, we’re excited to welcome back Crowded House.

Neil Finn and his bandmates are legends in the global music scene, famous for timeless hits like “Don’t Dream It’s Over” and “Weather With You.” Having graced the Bluesfest stage before, their performances have become some of the most memorable in our history. Their latest album, Gravity Stairs, debuted at No.

1 on the Australian albums charts, and their live shows continue to draw massive crowds. We eagerly anticipate their return for the final Bluesfest. Vance Joy, one of Australia’s brightest stars, is set to make his Bluesfest debut.
