The five-day Bluesfest Byron Bay added Lenny Kravitz to its April 2 opening night.
The night includes Counting Crows, Ben Howard, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Jimmy Cliff, and The Chris Robinson Brotherhood. Kravitz’s Bluesfest debut sees him front a 16-piece band.
“It has taken us years of negotiations and now, one of my dreams is about to come true,” director Peter Noble said. Kravitz will perform other shows in Australia.
