The festival will run over four days from Friday October 1 to Monday October 4.

The announcement follows the last-minute cancellation of the festival at Easter due to COVID.

The full festival line up is yet to be revealed, but organisers say they have added even more artists to the all-Aussie line up.

"Trust us when we say the wait will have all been worth it," organisers said in a statement on social media.

Current Bluesfest 2021 ticketholders will be given information on how to roll over to the new event, with the option to request a refund remaining available.

Season tickets will go on sale next week, with 3-day & 1-day tickets on sale soon after the line-up announcement.

Those who don't yet have a ticket and wish to buy can join the waitlist by registering via the Bluesfest website.
