Bluesfest 2025 went off with a bang over the weekend and we're already keen for another round! The people have spoken and so has the music - Bluesfest will be back in 2026!

Music lovers from across the country came together to celebrate what Bluesfest fans and the music community have always known - that live music and this much-loved festival are worth standing behind. With over 109,000 fans flooding through the gates, this year's Bluesfest was the biggest Aussie festival since pre-COVID. From iconic legends to future stars, it was four massive days of non-stop musical magic and the vibes were off the charts.

The Bluesfest team has been humbled by the overwhelming support received from both artists and fans since the announcement that 2025 might be the final year. Bluesfest Director Peter Noble summed it up best: "That support means Bluesfest fans have kept this dream alive. It's a clarion call for me. People want this event. People want it to continue."

This year's four-day showcase of some of the greatest live performers on the planet was a virtual sellout, with the biggest-ever opening night crowd pouring through the festival gates from the moment they opened on Thursday. The crowd of all ages was as diverse as Bluesfest has ever welcomed, testament to the event's multigenerational appeal to live-music loving fans from all walks of life.

The 2025 artist roll call perfectly illustrated Bluesfest's deft knack of assembling the greatest live performers on the planet - the past, present and future of live performance. From Tones and I's power house set, to surprise jams, first-timers, and festival legends like Chaka Khan, Crowded Houses and Hilltop Hoods absolutely launching the place into the stratosphere - 2025 was unforgettable.

So, let's do it all again next year! Tickets for the four-day Bluesfest 2026 are on sale now and are Early Bird so you can lock in your tickets at the best possible price!
