Goodbye Bluefest. It's been a nice 35yrs but you really needed to have stronger line ups to survive.

From 102,000 attendees in 2022, Bluesfest in 2024 slumped to just 60,000 through the turnstiles, highlighting the cost-of-living challenge for promoters following big rises in interest rates and inflation.

It's only half an hour from my place and I've never been once, you're right, their line ups are average.

It was a shame, though, as many people liked it and it was good for the local economy.

And with a 35 year history like many things I guess, if the festival was run by one or a small group of people, the time comes for it to naturally end (unless other younger folk want to take it up or take over organising).

Kind of when someone retires from work after a 35+ year career of doing the one thing?
