Well, this is pretty large.

In addition to Robert Plant, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Asegir, Lionel Richie sitting proudly their lineup, the crew over at Bluesfest have been pulling a few surprises over the past few weeks. They announced polarising pop star Kesha in December, and now, a surprise headline act has been added to the Easter weekend soiree, and it’s pretty fantastic.

Whether it’s as a solo artist or member of The Fugees, Lauryn Hill has been one of the most impactful figures in soul and hip-hop, especially on her compelling debut album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. She’s also featured alongside Method Man, D’Angelo and Nas on the immortal ‘If I Ruled The World,’ making her concise catalogue an absolute treat that’s begging to be played live at Bluesfest.

Hill’s appearance will be exclusive, meaning that if you’d like to witness her live, book your tickets to Byron Bay ASAP. Bluesfest goes down from Thursday, March 29 to Monday, April 2 – see the revamped lineup below, and grab your tickets here:
