Robert Plant and Van Morrison added to BluesFest 2018

Van Morrison and Robert Plant (with his band the Sensational Space Shifters) have been added to the BluesFest 2018 bill. The two rock legends will share the stage at London’s O2 Arena on Friday October 26.

“It’s been way over 50 years since I first shared the stage with Van Morrison,” said Plant. “His style then and now remains unique and loaded with deep soul. I’m looking forward to an exciting and dynamic night.”
