Bluesfest Byron Bay to close with final festival in 2025

BLUESFEST Byron Bay, Australia’s most awarded music festival, will hold its final event in 2025.

After 35 years of bringing top “Blues, Roots, and Beyond” artists to Australia, the festival will take its last bow at the Byron Events Farm.

Festival director Peter Noble issued the following statement:

“To my Dear Bluesfest Family, and after more than 50 years in the music business, Bluesfest has been a labour of love, a celebration of music, community, and the resilient spirit of our fans.

“But after the 2025 festival, as much as it pains me to say this, it’s time to close this chapter.

“As I said earlier this year at Bluesfest 2024, next year’s festival will be happening and it definitely is, but it will be our last.

“To my dear Bluesfest family, I want to make it the most unforgettable experience yet.

“If you’ve been thinking about it, now is your last chance to experience our beloved festival.”

The final Bluesfest will be a four-day event, held over the Easter long weekend from April 17 to 20, 2025, at the 300-acre Byron Events Farm.

The 2025 Bluesfest is promising an unforgettable lineup to mark the end of an era for the festival.
