Not only has Bluesfest just delivered one of our biggest Artist Announcements EVER , we are also delivering the second installment of our series of exciting sideshows!
Bluesfest Touring is absolutely thrilled to be announcing Rodriguez aka The Sugar Man in a series of unique concerts performing with surf rock band The Break (featuring members of Midnight Oil, Violent Femmes and Hunters & Collectors).  
Next up we have the superb pairing of the Tedeschi Trucks Band with special guests Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue. This cracker of a combination may never be repeated and is not to be missed!
We complete this announcement with the return to Australia of the first lady of British blues, jazz and pure soul, Joan Armatrading.

 

42 years has passed since the release of his debut album Cold Fact, and finally, Rodriguez is getting the recognition and success he deserves. His last tour in Australia in 2010 saw Rodriguez sell out multiple shows in Sydney and Melbourne, as well as selling out his show in Adelaide and two show-stopping appearances at Bluesfest.  Now – an award-winning documentary on the ‘Mystery Man’ has launched Sixto Rodriguez into a global spotlight. Come and stand shoulder to shoulder with new and old fans alike.
