Tour Promoter Peter Noble OAM said today, “We are very proud to be presenting these artists, the first being the talented Newton Faulkner and then the fantastic live act of the Drive-By Truckers.

We haven’t had the Drive-By Truckers out in Australia since 2009, so we’re thrilled to be able to be able to bring them back to Australia. They will certainly have a big impact on all who catch their show.

Newton last toured with Bluesfest Tours in 2018, and he’s a crowd favourite, so it’s great to have him tour Australia and play Bluesfest 2024 as well.”
