Got the blues? This might cheer you up a little…

The inaugural Sydney Blues and Roots Festival has just dropped its massive 2016 lineup. This year’s iteration of the festival is in some way the biggest of its eight year history, and is set to feature a range of accomplished and internationally renowned artists.

Diesel, Chris Cain, The Hippos and Chase The Sun are the festival’s de facto headliners, but to be honest, every single one of the acts on the bill is worthy of your attention.

Just as excitingly, the recently reformed Stars are going to be playing the fest, breaking some 35 years of inaction.

It all goes down from Thursday October 27 to Sunday October 30. For more information, and a full lineup, head to their website, here.
