Katoomba’s annual Blue Mountains Music Festival has just unveiled an absolutely stacked lineup for its 22nd birthday celebrations, including Paul Kelly and Charlie Owen, as well as The Waifs, Eddie Reader, Folk Uke, and many more.

Kelly and Owen will be treating punters to a set of songs from their first album together, Death’s Dateless Night, which features covers of timeless classics like The Beatles’ ‘Let It Be’ and Leonard Cohen’s ‘Bird on a Wire’.

Of course, this is just a taste of the full lineup, which you can check out below. The incredible contingent of international artists will feature fly-ins from Ireland, Scotland, Canada, The Netherlands, The US, India, Japan, and Ehiopia.

Just imagine: three days of incredible music taking place over seven stages in the scenic surrounds of Katoomba. There’ll also be the usual songwriters’ and instrumental circles, Heartland Conversations, and roaming performers.
