Paul Kelly sells out regional tour – next stop Bluesfest

Paul Kelly

 

Paul Kelly recently announced his mammoth 31 date regional tour – and it SOLD OUT in 24 hours! What a supreme achievement!! So … guess what? That means the only way to catch Paul Kelly in the months ahead will be at Bluesfest, where he and his full band headline on Saturday 2nd October.

And with demand for the Bluesfest 4-day October Edition running pretty hot too don’t leave it too long to decide. After all, waiting for you is an aaaaamazing ‘all-aussie’ lineup, superb food and drink, wonderful Byron Bay beaches and hinterland, and beautiful spring weather. What’s not to love … so head over to the Bluesfest website now.

Paul Kelly is a dear friend of Bluesfest and never fails to bring a special performance to the Bluesfest stage. After all, who can forget his 2015 appearance – when he brought an ensemble of the most-talented musicians to Bluesfest to perform ‘The Merri Sessions’ – an absolute show-stopper!

With 27 studio albums, film scores, co-writes, and side projects his body of work is virtually bottomless and genre-defying as Paul Kelly is one of those rare artists to spin a long career out of a hunger to explore new directions, from the tender songcraft of Post to the hard-edged rock’n’roll of Gossip, to country and folk, bluegrass (see Smoke, Foggy Highway) and the soul revue of The Merri Soul Sessions.

He has been coming to Bluesfest since 1999 and returns in October for his 8th appearance.

He’s shared the stage with the who’s who of Australian musical talent – and every performance is special. We are super-excited to see our ‘national treasure’ Paul Kelly back on the Bluesfest stage this October. Joining Paul on the Saturday lineup will be co-headliner Tash Sultana, and festival favourites Kasey Chambers, Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Ziggy Alberts, The Angels, Ross Wilson and The Peaceniks, Chain, The Black Sorrows, Jeff Lang, Fiona Boyes, Ash Grunwald, Kate Miller-Heidke, Mama Kin Spender, Nathan Cavaleri, All Our Exes Live In Texas, Pacey, King & Doley, Pierce Brothers and discovery artists ROSHANI, Lambros. And Electrik Lemonade.

Come and join Paul Kelly and his full band when he headlines Saturday 2nd October.

Bluesfest : The October Edition will take place over 4 days from Friday 1st October to Monday 4th October 2021 at the Byron Events Farm, Tyagarah, NSW, AUSTRALIA.
