Byron Bay Bluesfest 2012

The Byron Bay Bluesfest or East Coast International Blues & Roots Music Festival as it was known by, is an annual music festival held for five days over the Easter long weekend. It has previously been held at Belongil Fields in Byron Bay but has now relocated to a new home at Tyagarah Tee Tree Farm which is nestled on 120 hectares, just 11 kilometres north of Byron Bay and 8 kilometres south of Brunswick Heads. It is the perfect place to hold the Festival, and will allow 17,500 Festival visitors per day and 6,500 campers over the entire weekend.
