Having recently announced the addition of a stack of bonafide legends to their eagerly anticipated 2016 lineup, Byron Bay Bluesfest is officially on a roll and organisers have now announced a whole raft of awesome new sideshows.

Kicking things off is Beach Boys and all-round rock and roll icon Brian Wilson, who’ll be performing his legendary band’s groundbreaking album Pet Sounds in full, as well as a selection of greatest hits.

Next up is blues legend Taj Mahal, who’ll be performing entirely solo at a series of intimate, not-to-be-missed performances. This is your chance to see a living legend of the blues do his thing one-on-one with his fans.

There’s also headline dates from experimental legends The Residents, Lord Huron, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Lukas Nelson & Promise of The Real, and more. Readers can check below for all the dates and details.
