The artists will perform mostly different sets on each day of the festival so for those who wish to attend on both days, you will see something new on each day.

This is a blues festival with a difference! We have carefully hand-picked the bands from Okinawa - Japan, NZ, Victoria, NSW, and South Australia, so that punters will experience all different types of blues and other music, ranging from traditional blues, Americana blues, blues rock, country blues, blues with jazz, neo-noir music, dirty blues, swampy blues, indie rock, and blues melded with traditional Okinawan folk music and drumming.

Tony J Hunt will play the didgeridoo throughout and there will be a group of Okinawan drumming dancers from Sydney to dazzle you with cultural delights throughout the festival. One not to miss!
