‘We’ll be standing here next year’: Bluesfest boss defiant despite industry on its knees

the 35th Bluesfest swung open the gates on its site outside Byron Bay with a defiant festival boss Peter Noble declaring “come hell or high water, we’ll be standing here next year”.

“We need financial support so we can continue to be a successful event,” he said. “And I’ve shown this weekend how bloody great Bluesfest is. And if you don’t think it’s great, well, I’m sorry, I think you’ve got a hole in this soul.” The minister hinted there could be an announcement of assistance next week from Music Australia, the national body set up in June last year.
