Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett has joined Byron Bay Bluesfest‘s 2017 lineup, and will play the festival on Thursday, 13th April.

Barnett joins a packed Bluesfest lineup which also includes Smith, Mary J. Blige, Mavis Staples, Beth Hart, Corinne Bailey Rae and more, with more announcements still to come. The festival takes place over five days this Easter.
