The set times for Byron Bay Bluesfest 2016 have been announced, revealing 90-minute sets for most festival headliners, including D’Angelo, The National, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Tom Jones, Brian Wilson, and more.
A number of acts are even performing 120-minute sets, including D’Angelo during his second performance on Saturday, 26th March, as well as Tedeschi Trucks Band, Joe Bonamassa, and UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, Astro and Mickey Virtue.
“This is what every festival attendee hangs out for – the playing schedule, we call it the form guide. It contains all the times and set lengths of the shows,” said Bluesfest director Peter Noble in a statement.
“At Bluesfest, artists are given the opportunity to play full performances wherever possible and you will see full two hour shows with D’Angelo (Saturday), Joe Bonamassa (Saturday), UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, Astro & Mickey Virtue (Sunday) and Tedeschi Trucks Band (Thursday).”
“When the Wailers present Bob Marley’s classic album Legend on Sunday, the audience will get to see the full 100 minute performance. Artists such as Brian Wilson… and more will be presenting their full 90 minute concert performances. There are no cut down performances at Bluesfest.”
“This one of our best Bluesfest artist bills ever and it’s not only us who think that; Australian media are saying it too.” Check below for the Bluesfest 2016 timetable as well as the full lineup and ticketing details.
