Robert Plant, Van Morrison, John Fogerty, Steve Miller, Zac Brown Band, Counting Crows and Alison Krauss Amongst Acts on Line-Up For BluesFest 2018
**Annual festival returns to The O2 in London at end of October**
BluesFest returns to The O2 in London in October with an array of superstar acts including Robert Plant, Van Morrison, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer John Fogerty, who performs his first UK headline show since 2008 with a Creedence Clearwater Revival greatest hits set, Grammy-winning Southern-rock phenomenon Zac Brown Band, multi-million-selling folk-rockers Counting Crows and multi-award-winning US vocalist Alison Krauss all amongst the acts confirmed for the 4 day event.
The star-studded event is geared up to be one of the highlights of the year so far, with the organisers clearly thinking long and hard about the balance of performers and the line-up. Balanced and poised with a range of blues acts, this is one from which everyone will glean something that they will love.
