Dunno if I'd go so far as to call AC/DC or CC culture   - no wait, they are, aren't they? Pub rock / Aussie rock is a bit of a way of life fo some folks. I don't dislike either band, but don't have much or their music really. Something lacking in the way of dynamic? Generally ace at rocking out but

That Jimmy Barnes  Anyway look who is headling the Bluesfest ,Ashley  I will not be going for sure

I know what you mean. They seem to repeat over the years a lot of the artists as well. Buddy Guy was out not that long ago, same with Angelique Kidjo (3rd or 4th time with the fest) for her and she sings African music or a hybrid these days. I don't mind the diversity but they do need to have a few more actual Blues artists in the line-up. I don't think there is anybody from New Orleans there. They had Dylan headline once though  approved of that one still saw him down here when he toured. The festival goes over the entire Easter Period and you could not pick a better spot to have it than Byron Bay ( semi tropical and beautiful, right on the coast). You do need to know someone up there though if you don't want to sleep in a tent for five days. The place is not cheap. It is a twenty two hour drive to get there for me or fly and you still have to get a bus down from Coolangatta to get there.
