The Bluesfest 2017 steam train is a-rollin’ and it shows no signs of slowing down. It seems every week for the past few months we’ve seen at least one big announcement from the Bluesfest camp and this week is absolutely no different.

Organisers have already announced a huge slew of sideshows all around the country and those fans who can’t make it down to Byron Bay next year or simply want a more intimate experience with their favourite Bluesfest acts now have even more reason to celebrate.

Some major sideshow action is happening with headline dates announced for St Paul and the Broken Bones, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, jazz legend Roy Ayers, Joan Osborne, and The Strumbellas.
