Dear Bluesfest Patrons,
Please be assured that, Bluesfest is going ahead this Easter weekend. We are continuing to monitor the situation closely to ensure the event is COVID-safe.
Festival Director Peter Noble has been in contact with NSW Health this morning and spoken with NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard. We are expecting further updates from NSW Health and will remain in close contact in the coming days.
Based on advice from NSW Health, we are not allowing ticket holders that are affected by the 3-day Queensland lockdown to attend the festival on the first day, Thursday April 1. We will keep ticket buyers from the affected area updated and advise them to check with the Queensland government to check regularly for updates on the current 3-day lockdown.
The lockdowns cover the council areas of Brisbane, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Logan, and Redlands.
We are in continuous conversation with NSW Health and are committed to provide patron, artist, and staff safety at all times, when visiting Bluesfest. This is our biggest priority, and we will keep you updated.
When you are onsite, we ask every attendee to do the following:
Do not attend the event if you show any symptoms of COVID-19
Sign into the Service NSW QR code
Stay socially distanced at all times
Stay in your designated zone
Sign into your designed zone daily
Stay seated during performances
Wash hands and use sanitiser
Avoid co-mingling with other patrons
For campers, stay in your designated camp areas
Follow the direction of Bluesfest Staff and COVID-19 marshals

Statement from Brad Hazzard’s press conference Monday 29/03/2021:
To the people of Brisbane who might have bought tickets to come to Bluesfest, do not come!
Thursday is out of any question if you listened to what your government is saying. If the Government in Queensland extends the lockdown period, and we are not saying they will at this stage, but if they do, clearly people who have bought or are buying tickets from Brisbane are not welcome to attend the festival.
I have spoken to the organisers and I understand arrangements put in place for refunds.
In essence people who have not been to Brisbane or been to the areas that have been highlighted by the Greater Brisbane area; highlighted by the Queensland government, yes you are welcome, but nobody else during this particular period, so just be very cautious on that front.
And tickets are still on sale to everyone not coming from the affected areas.
Stay safe and see you at Bluesfest 2021!

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
