The East Coast Blues and Roots Festival held in Byron Bay every Easter will again offer an outstanding line up of great music! Click to see Byron Bay Accommodation.
Many people are excited to see Bob Dylan play, but for me I'm really looking forward to seeing Jethro Tull. No matter what your taste in music, there will be a great line up of artists. People that have been classic names in music for many years as well as many rising stars. There are 5 major tents with music playing over a 6 day period.
