Bluesfest

"This line-up had to be right, and you’ll see why," Bluesfest organisers teased in a new social media post.

Dark Mofo and RISING are among the 2025 events that have returned reinvigorated, following the trend of Laneway, Bluesfest, and other Australian festivals.

“It’s clear that the government needs to step in to help the industry."

“[The festival circuit] is too important to lose,” said Minister for Music and Night-time Economy John Graham.

Fourteen annual events will receive additional support from the NSW government and benefit from "less red tape."

Toto and Christopher Cross will perform at Bluesfest over this year's Easter weekend.

“Do we have to say it’s the last Bluesfest to get people to focus on us?”

“This mix of legendary performers and up-and-coming talent is what makes this announcement so special and uniquely ours,” Peter Noble said.

"The arts, and events like Bluesfest, are worth protecting," Noble said in an open letter.

"Now is your last chance to experience our beloved festival."
