“GOOD CHANCE” BLUESFEST WILL BE ON THIS YEAR SAYS HEALTH MINISTER

During a visit to the Far North Coast, Health Minister Brad Hazzard said there’s a “good chance” Byron Bay’s Bluesfest will be on later this year.

Mr Hazzard confirmed talks are on-going with the event’s organisers after the five-day festival was cancelled last week due to a single community case of COVID-19.

Festival director, Peter Noble, declined to comment.
