Lenny Kravitz has been added to the Bluesfest line-up to headline the Thursday night shows.
Bluesfest festival director Peter Noble is pretty excited about finally scoring Kravitz for Bluesfest. “Our first night at Bluesfest is gonna be rocking,” Peter said. “We have Blues Rock superstar Lenny Kravitz in the house on the Thursday, along with the Counting Crows, Ben Howard, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Jimmy Cliff, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood and so many more. Thursday at Bluesfest is going to be massive”.
“It has taken us years of negotiations and now, one of my dreams as a Festival Director, is about to come true. Lenny Kravitz has the hits – the charisma – the show. He is one of the greats of the modern Rock era. He is the icing on the cake, for what is shaping to be one of our best ever Bluesfest’s and we sure are putting an awful lot of icing on our Bluesberry cake this year. We still have more incredible artists to announce yet, so keep watching out!”
