Elvis Costello and Lucinda Williams Lead Bluesfest 2023 Lineup

Bluesfest has unveiled the first lineup announcement for its 2023 event. The festival will once again return to its home at the Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm just north of Byron Bay, running for five days across the 2023 Easter long weekend.

Recent tour announcements for Bonnie Raitt and Mavis Staples, Jackson Browne and Marcus King gave fans a teaser of what was to come. Bluesfest have now revealed the 41 acts that make up its initial lineup. Leading the charge are Elvis Costello & The Imposters, GZA, Lucinda Williams, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram and Femi Kuti & The Positive Force.

A very welcome return to Australia for Elvis and the Imposters. Their last appearance there was in 2014.

I note that when Elvis and the Imposters played the East Coast Blues and Roots Festival in Byron Bay in 2011, they played two shows on successive nights. On the second night, the Secret Sisters (who were the opening act for other dates on that tour) joined them to add some vocal colour.

As Larkin Poe are also on the bill for the Byron Bay BluesFest in 2023, perhaps we can look forward to them appearing with Elvis again? They last appeared with Elvis (on Detour) in 2016 and with Elvis and The Imposters in 2015. Or perhaps given their current success, it should be Elvis appearing with them?

It wouldn’t surprise me if Larkin Poe joined Elvis.

So the Australian tour kicks off on Thursday in Byron Bay.

Also appearing at the Bluesfest festival, are Larkin Poe, Lucinda Williams and Steve Earle. Will any of them join Elvis on stage, or will he join them?

Anyone going?

Sydney Opera House: Sunday, 31 March 2024 (Easter Sunday)
Sydney Opera House: Monday, 1 April 2024 (Easter Monday)
Sydney Opera House: Tuesday, 2 April 2024
The Palais, Melbourne: Thursday, 4 April

Your current tickets will be valid for these performances. Ticket providers will be in contact.

A note from Elvis Costello:

“We are so disappointed not to be returning to the stages at Byron Bay, where we had plans to surprise you with a few friends joining the show. It is maddening these unfortunate but unavoidable circumstances mean that our three sold-out nights at Sydney Opera House and a return to the Palais in St. Kilda, which was also sold out, must also be rescheduled. We are sorry for any inconvenience and hope that the wait will seem worthwhile when we return. Yours through music.” Elvis Costello & The Imposters (and their pal, Charlie Sexton).

Refunds will be available should you not wish to attend the rescheduled performances. Bluesfest only refunds one-day tickets for up to 30 days after the event.
