We have a rare, and to be honest long-shot opportunity to bring Bluesfest to Tasmania. The Berejiklian Government in NSW has made it untenable to hold festivals in NSW, putting enormous new costs, licensing restrictions and making festival owners criminally liable for people that overdose at their events.

As a result, Bluesfest is looking for a new home and Tassies, we know what the best home for the best blues and roots festival in the country is. Our unrivalled beauty pairs perfectly with this festival, and if you want an economic argument, consider that it's the highest earning per punter festival of its size in the country, with a crowd of folks generally over the age of 40 - this is a low risk group of people, who have money to spend.

Let's bring Bluesfest to Tasmania, it's like an oyster and a pearl.
