Byron Bay Bluesfest

The Byron Bay Bluesfest, one of the biggest and most famous festivals in Australia is an Australian annual music festival held in Byron Bay, New South Wales, during the Easter weekend.

The festival was founded by Dan Doeppel and Kevin Oxford in 1990 and is run by Peter Noble who joined Oxford for the 1994 event. It has been held at several locations in and around Byron Bay and is currently held at Tyagarah, 11 km (6.8 mi) north of Byron Bay town. Originally running for four days, it now runs for five days, from Thursday to Monday.

The Byron Bay Bluesfest features a large selection of blues and roots performers from Australia and around the world and is one of the world's leading contemporary music festivals. It is a paradise for music fans, with large grocery stores, licensed bars, quick-food corners, and beer counters added to the overall appeal.
