Bluesfest has good news and bad news to announce in the weeks leading up to the music festival.
The good news is that Bluesfest has announced the final four acts to perform at the Byron Bay music festival in April.
Angus & Julia Stone, Boy & Bear, Sticky Fingers and Jurassic 5 will perform on the Thursday of Bluesfest.
“To be adding Angus & Julia Stone, Boy & Bear, Sticky Fingers and an additional performance from Jurassic 5 only three weeks out of the Festival is a huge milestone,” says Bluesfest director Peter Noble. “This is a time when all artists are truly locked away and no further announcements are scheduled. We have now added a whole slew of Australia’s best contemporary talent. Angus & Julia just performed on the steps at Sydney Opera House – selling 5,000 Tickets”.
The bad news is another drop-out for the event with Ben Howard cancelling his Bluesfest appearance.
“We are sorry to report that Ben Howard will not be performing at Bluesfest this year. It’s only 3 weeks since he finished his spectacularly successful US tour and he has now decided to update his show, working some new musicians into his band.
Ben is a perfectionist and he feels he needs a little more time to work on his show, so it will be at the level his fans have come to expect when he comes to Australia.
As a result he is rescheduling his tour by 6 weeks in order to complete rehearsals. Of course we would prefer Ben to be playing at Bluesfest and we know his fans will be disappointed. Check out

Bluesfest 2015 is April 2-6, 2015 in Byron Bay.
