You and a friend will have the ultimate music weekend
There's no better way to spend Easter than hanging out with your best friend, watching some of the world's best artists at the annual Bluesfest.
We want to help you make that happen.
This year we are giving one lucky person the chance to take their 'music bestie' on the ultimate music expedition, with an incredible VIP Bluesfest experience up for grabs.
The prize includes flights, accommodation, VIP tickets, a tour of backstage, and even a chance to watch your favourite artist from the side of stage!
All you need to do is tell us, in 50 words or less, why the person you'll take to Bluesfest is your 'music bestie'.
Have they introduced you to great new music? Do they always tag along when there's a gig you want to go to? Do you text them when you hear great song you know they will love?
Tap on this link, fill in your details, and let us know about your music bestie! The best entry will win a seriously incredible, once in a lifetime musical experience.
Here's what you'll get:
- Two return flights from your nearest capital city
- Two five-day VIP passes to Bluesfest (i.e. two tickets), 9-13 April 2020
- VIP two-person Tent Motel including 2x single beds (winners to bring own bedding)
- Bluesfest backstage tour
- Side-of-stage viewing for one artist’s performance
- Transfers between festival and nearby airport (Gold Coast/Ballina) for arrival/departure (winner must cover own transfer costs to their closest capital city airport and their home)
Tune in to Mornings with Zan Rowe each weekday from 9am on Double J to hear all the best entries as well as plenty of music from the stacked 2020 Bluesfest bill.
