Interesting statistics: In its 21 years, Bluesfest has developed an enviable reputation for presenting a festival that appeals to all ages and lovers of a variety of roots-based music genres. Some new statistics support the cross-generational, inclusive appeal of Bluesfest – the average age of Bluesfest ticket buyers is just 26 years of age, and Bluesfest now sells more tickets to women than men!
In 2010, Bluesfest was successfully held on its permanent new site for the first time, the Tyagarah Tea Tree farm, 12 minutes north of the beautiful, sub-tropical little old hippie town of Byron Bay.
