Bluesfest Tours is proud to announce the long-awaited return of one of the most influential and best-selling groups of all time, EARTH, WIND & FIRE, who will be performing in Australia for the first time since 2012. After 14 years, they are finally coming home to our stage. The legendary architects of soul, funk and R&B will take the spotlight at Byron Bay Bluesfest with a special Easter Friday performance, followed by two spectacular sideshows in Sydney and Melbourne.
Formed in 1969 by the visionary Maurice White, EARTH, WIND & FIRE revolutionised the sound of popular music with their radiant fusion of soul, funk, R&B, jazz and disco. Over their extraordinary career, the band have sold more than 100 million albums, achieved eight Number One hits, released 23 studio albums (including eight Double Platinum), and earned nine GRAMMY® Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and honoured with the Kennedy Centre Honors in 2019 marking their immense cultural and artistic legacy.
Earth, Wind & Fire’s musical legacy is defined by an extraordinary catalogue of iconic songs and award-winning achievements that have shaped generations. Their timeless hits include the Grammy-winning “Shining Star” to the universal joy of “September”, the electrifying groove of “Let’s Groove”, and the soulful depth of “That’s the Way of the World”, their music remains a cornerstone of global culture. Dancefloor staples like “Boogie Wonderland” capture the exuberance of the disco era, while emotional classics such as “Reasons” reveal the group’s unmatched vocal artistry and emotional power. With visionary works like “Fantasy”, Earth, Wind & Fire showcase an unparalleled creative range that continues to inspire artists and fans alike. Decades after their debut, their live performances still radiate the same joy, harmony, and spiritual energy that first made them legends.
In April 2026, Australian audiences will once again experience the uplifting power of Earth, Wind, and Fire’s timeless music, one of the greatest bands to ever take the stage.
