Final Bluesfest Lineup Announcement Revealed

720x405-EODM-BW-Chapman-Baehler

As if Bluesfest couldn’t get any bigger this year, twelve more acts have been added to the huge lineup consisting already of acts including: Kendrick Lamar, City and Colour, The National and Noel Gallagher.

Leading the final Bluesfest announcement are American rock royalty, Eagles of Death Metal. Touring new album ‘Zipper Down’, their Bluesfest appearance will mark their first Australian appearance since their concert at The Bataclan in Paris. The venue was targeted as part of a string of terror attacks across the French capital, killing a total of 129 innocent people.

Since the unprecedented tragedy, vocalist Jesse Hughes has adamantly stated that the band would continue to tour in honour of the fans that lost their lives. Hughes will be accompanied by his touring band come Bluesfest.
