Here's how to get tickets.

Prep your flower crowns and clear your Instagram schedule, Byron Bay Bluesfest has been rescheduled to October this year.

It was originally due to go ahead at Easter, but was cancelled by a Public Health Order just 24 hours prior to the event after a last-minute COVID-19 scare. 

But this week, organisers have confirmed that the rescheduled event will be held from Friday, October 1 to Monday, October 4.

The October lineup includes new headliner Midnight Oil for Friday, October 1.

Paul Kelly and Tash Sultana will be joint headliners for Saturday October 2, with Jimmy Barnes returning to headline on Sunday night.
