It’s been six long years since BONNIE RAITT last toured Australia and Bluesfest Touring is proud to present her in two very special concerts, celebrating her latest album release, ‘Just Like That’, which currently sits at #1 on the USA Billboard Blues Charts. Bonnie is a multi-GRAMMY Award winner, and in 2022 was the recipient of the GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award, an award reserved for only the most special of musical artists.
On top of that, to have the legendary MAVIS STAPLES as Bonnie’s special guest on this tour just makes these shows extra special – and extraordinary. Mavis herself is a GRAMMY Hall of Famer, and multi-GRAMMY Award winner, and has a string of anthems both from her Staples Singers years and as a solo artist. Mavis Staples was Bluesfest Touring’s last tour before Covid struck in March 2020 and we welcome back the 83-years-young legend back to Australia. The pairing of these two amazing talents will probably never occur again on our shores and I urge you not to miss out on seeing these concerts.
Two absolute legends, one memorable night.

MARCUS KING is one of the fastest rising artists. His ‘sold out’ first Australian tour in 2019, as well as the Covid-cancelled 2020 tour with its larger venues, only confirmed this. He returns for his second visit to Australia for Bluesfest Touring in April 2023. At 26 years of age, with a GRAMMY-nominated debut album under his belt, produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, he is showing maturity far beyond his years. Marcus King is a ‘KING’ of unparalleled performance prowess with a dynamic live show, switching from swaggering rock to supersonic soul. He’s just teased us with three singles from his new album ‘Young Blood’, which drops on 26th August.
