Bryan Ferry Announces His First Dates For 2019, Is Bluesfest A Possibility?

Bryan Ferry will start his 2019 dates in South Africa.

Only two Ferry dates for 2019 have so far been announced with shows in Cape Town and Pretoria going on sale this week.

Bryan Ferry last toured Australia in 2011, before that 2007 and 2004 (for Bluesfest). With Bluesfest 2019 coming up in April, Ferry’s active touring schedule puts him well and truly on the radar for an upcoming Bluesfest announcement.

Bryan Ferry has also toured Australia in 1995, 1988 and 1977 as well as tours with Roxy Music in 2001, 1981 and 1975.

Bryan Ferry 2019 dates (so far)

14 February, Cape Town, Grand Arena
16 February, Pretoria, Sun Arena
