The first round of Bluesfest sideshows have been announced and we're beyond excited.

After an epic lineup announcement in August, for the festivals 30th anniversary year, including Ben Harper, Kasey Chambers and Jack Johnson, the Bluesfest team are delivering a string of sideshows for those unable to attend the festival.

The first of the sideshow reveals include Arlo Guthrie, Nahko And Medicine, Keb'Mo', I'm With Her, Trevor Hall, Vintage Trouble, Larkin Poe and The California Honeydrops.

American singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne will also play two massive headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney and iconic 70's funk master George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic will perform their final Australian tour.

Tickets to all sideshows go on sale at 10 am, Monday, September 17th. If you're a Bluesfest Touring member, you can get access to pre-sales, which kick off on Thursday, September 13th.
