Music, laughter, feelings of overwhelming joy, a sense of community togetherness; these descriptive phrases do not begin to demonstrate the vibe of a music festival. This guide to the Byron Bay Blues festival will provide an overview including the festivities' location, accommodation, facilities and the music line up of the merrymaking six day event, which is held in Australia's eastern most town in New South Wales.
Originally held indoors at the Byron Bay Arts Factory, the music gala boasts a rich and varied history of locations since its inception in 1990, and now twenty one years later is celebrating it's silver key anniversary at the one hundred and twenty hectare Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm, which is an actual working Tea Tree plantation eleven kilometers north of Byron Bay.
The popular tourist town has different types of accommodation to suit different needs, requirements and desires which include swanky hotels, cozy motels, neat self-contained apartments and beach side caravan parks. The gig organizers will be running a shuttle bus in between Tyagarah and the city center in order to promote safe drinking practices. Tickets for 17500 people per day have been ordered and secure free parking will be available near the grounds.
If smelling the flowers and walking home from a night out at a music event is more your style and you don't mind being outdoors, there is camping available for six and a half thousand folks next to the music arena. There will be no alcohol rules in place and will be enforced by removing any offenders. Guests are asked to keep noise to a minimum and to leave glass at home for the comfort of other campers. The Tepee Village is available for a different style of camping if you choose to bring little cargo on your voyage to the grounds.
Never fear though, if you can't last for the week without an alcoholic beverage, there are licensed areas within the festival grounds to have a tipple. There is also (parents get ready to cheer) a child minding section, two food halls, market stalls, CD shop and an area for artists to sign your paraphernalia as well as an automatic teller machine in case you spend all your money on music.
The popularity of the festival is a draw card for large international music names such as Bob Dylan and national icons like Clare Bowditch and Wolfmother. Big names such as these bring the people who helped the function win the 2010 Australian Event of the Year Award.
Adults and Children can purchase single tickets or multi day passes. Packages for families, VIPs and couples are also available. Volunteers to help throughout the week are also able to apply however due to its popularity, not all applications will be accepted.
Tickets are selling fast for this popular event. Grab yours quickly before they sell out in order to enjoy the music gala.
