Benjamin Booker announces 2018 Bluesfest sideshows

The lineup for the 2018 Byron Bay Bluesfest has proven that Australians are one of the luckiest countries in the world when it comes to live music. Now, as more and more artists find themselves added to the already-stacked lineup, these same acts continue to announce sideshows for their time in Australia, with blues guitarist Benjamin Booker being the latest to add his name to that ever-growing list.

With Bluesfest announcing an immense lineup last year, which included the likes of Robert Plant, The New Power Generation, Canned Heart, Kesha, and Hurray For The Riff Raff, tickets to this amazing fest begun selling like hotcakes. Of course, as with every festival, not everyone can make their way up to Byron Bay to see some of their favourite acts – so they’re coming to you.

With sideshows already announced by the aforementioned artists, as well as Newton Faulkner, Juanes, and Gomez, Aussie music fans are undoubtedly thanking their lucky stars, but now they’ve got another reason to celebrate.

Announced today, US blues genius Benjamin Booker is set to play sideshows in Sydney and Melbourne while in the country for his Bluesfest appearance. With his sound being described as being a mix of soul, blues, boogie, garage rock, and good ol’ fashioned rock and roll, Benjamin Booker proves himself to be a one man party-starter who never fails to put on an amazing show.

Heading to Australia in support of his second album, Witness, fans can expect to see a frenzied show of raw, primal musicianship, mixed with a performance of unrelenting professionalism and fun. Undoubtedly, these are set to be some shows you won’t want to miss.

Tickets to Benjamin Booker’s Sydney and Melbourne sideshows are available now.
