Blueprint Festival 09 - 3rd round of Artists added


The latest festival to hit Victoria features one of the best all Autralian line-ups ever put together in my opinion. Headlining the new event is Oz rock legends Jebediah who have not played together for a few years and should be reason enough to get yourself a ticket and head down to Ararat. Having seen the Jebs play many a festival set I am greatly anticiapting this reunion to see if Kevin Mitchell can still rock out after unplugging as Bob Evans for the last few years. The Beautiful Girls are also back on the touring circuit after taking most of the last 2 years off and having seen them more than any other band will be looking forward to seeing them again. The huge lineup features some of Australia's finest Roots artists including Ash Grunwald, Old Man River, Blue King Brown, Wagons and up and coming Gold Coast funksters Tijuana Cartel playing their first shows in Victoria. Tim Rogers and Claire Bowditch are also worthy additions to the lineup after being added in the final round of announcements. Transport to the festival from Melbourne by coach has also been organised to make it easier for those without cars.
The festival has gone to great effort to make this festival unique with a beer hall featuring micro brews on tap, a seated restaurant, a massive market and a large garden set up in front of one of the stages.
Tickets are now $120 after the first 2 rounds of tickets selling out. For all the details on how to get there and all other information go to the official website http://www.blueprintfestival.com/website/home.html.
