Every year scores of Novocastrians head to Byron Bay for the annual Bluesfest. Newcastle Live brings you some amazing images from the festival, so we’re super excited to share the second announcement of artists scheduled to appear at the 2016 Bluesfest.
Co-headlining the second announcement is the incomparable Tom Jones, a living legend who will be appearing at Bluesfest for the first time in 2016. Over his 50 year career, Tom Jones has sold over 100 million records, won a Grammy and two Brit Awards and given us countless hits.
Also headlining this announcement, and in another first for Bluesfest, is one of the most talented songwriters in modern Rock, Noel Gallagher, who will be performing at Bluesfest with his band, the High Flying Birds.
