Bluesfest Goes To NZ

The East Coast International Blues And Roots Music Festival already has sister events sharing acts: West Coast Blues And Roots (Perth), Point Nepean – A Music Experience (outside Melbourne) and Southern Roots (Tasmania).

Now there is also the Coromandel Peninsula Blues And Roots Music Festival, with acts including Buddy Guy, KT Tunstall, Keb’ Mo’, Wilco, Ian Brown, Midge Marsden, Hollie Smith, Pluto, Little Bushman and The Checks.

"A one-day festival is an event, not a festival," says Bluesfest founder Peter Noble, "But [the NZ event] will become a festival if the public decide they want it to be."
