Byron Bay Bluesfest, Australia's premier and most awarded music festival in Australia ever, proudly announces that the 2025 edition will be its final curtain call! 

After 35 years of celebrating the very best in blues, roots music and beyond, the legendary institution that has brought the world's greatest artists to Australia, plus a whole bunch of our own, will host its last festival on the legendary Byron Events Farm, just outside of Byron Bay, NSW, Australia.

As the final chapter in Bluesfest's iconic legacy approaches, fans are urged to be part of history. The first of many artist announcements for the 2025 festival, which promises to feature a lineup worthy of this momentous occasion, will be unveiled in one week! This is the last chance to experience the magic, the music and the memories that have made Bluesfest a beloved institution, and we are expecting many our greatest artist, plus a bunch of first timers to join the celebration, with a first artist announcement imminent.

Peter Noble OAM, Festival Director and the driving force behind Bluesfest, expressed the significance of this decision:

"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."

Bluesfest has always been more than just a festival; it's been a gathering of souls, a place where lifelong memories are made, and where music transcends boundaries. The 2025 festival will be a fitting finale, honouring the legacy of those who have made it what it is today - from the artists to the fans. As the festival prepares to take its final bow, the focus shifts to the upcoming first artist announcement. Stay tuned, as the world will soon learn who will grace the stages of the last Bluesfest.
