Byron Bay Bluesfest director Peter Noble has advised that the annual music festival will not continue beyond 2025. The 36th Bluesfest will be held on 17-20 April, and Noble has confirmed that it will be the last one. Bluesfest was founded in 1990 and was initially called the East Coast Blues Festival; it has featured many local and international bands and musicians, including Jimmy Barnes, Midnight Oil, BB King and Bob Dylan. Bluesfest is amongst a number of music festivals that have struggled to rebound in the post-pandemic environment; Splendour in the Grass was cancelled earlier in 2024.
