Warranting her own separate announcement, Bluesfest today have announced pop diva Grace Jones as the latest addition to the 2011 lineup, joining the likes of Bob Dylan, B.B. King, Elvis Costello, Jethro Tull and many, many more.

The legendary singer will perform at Bluesfest on the Friday night, performing a show that organisers describe as unmissable: "A special event that’s part musical tour de force, part runway fashion show, and part theatrical drama full of outrageous extravagance."

Bluesfest director Peter Noble suggested that Jones was more than deserving of her own announcement: "We usually unveil a group of artists in one go but Ms Jones warrants her very own announcement."

In addition to the anonuncement of Grace Jones, Bluesfest have also suggested that five-day tickets are soon to be compeltely sold out. The festival has already sold out of Monday tickets. Bluesfest takes place over the Easter long weekend in 2011, from Thursday April 21 to Monday April 25.
