Hold onto your festival hats, music lovers! Australia’s legendary Bluesfest is making a massive comeback in 2026, and the lineup is absolutely stacked. Following their biggest post-pandemic turnout with over 109,000 attendees this year, they’re coming back stronger than ever with over 35 incredible acts ready to rock Byron Bay next April. This is shaping up to be one of those can’t-miss festival experiences that’ll have everyone talking!
Get ready for some serious musical magic because the headliners are straight fire! We’re talking about the legendary Earth, Wind & Fire bringing that timeless soul and funk, The Pogues making their triumphant return after 14 years away from the stage, and the full reunion of Split Enz marking their first Australian tour in nearly two decades. This is the kind of lineup that makes festival-goers weak in the knees! Check out the official [Bluesfest lineup announcement](https://www.bluesfest.com.au/) for all the details.
While we might be a world away from Byron Bay here in Memphis, festival season knows no borders! Just like our own Beale Street Music Festival brings together incredible artists from across genres, Bluesfest is proving that great music brings people together no matter where you are. Memphis music lovers know a thing or two about legendary performances, and this festival is delivering exactly that kind of unforgettable energy.
This is shaping up to be one of the hottest festival tickets of 2026!
Mark your calendars for April 2-5, 2026, because Byron Bay is about to become the epicenter of the music universe. With more artists still to be announced, the excitement is just getting started. Whether you’re planning the ultimate Aussie adventure or just dreaming from afar, this festival is setting the bar sky-high for what live music experiences should be. The energy is going to be absolutely electric!
