"Archie is a national treasure known for his remarkable gift and love of storytelling,” Bezzina said.
"His music comes from a place of healing and shared humanity, and this intimate concert of his compelling catalogue, collected over 30 years, will be an unforgettable evening with one of Australia's true legends.”
An Evening With Archie Roach will be held at Mudgeeraba Memorial Hall on Saturday, April 7.
Festival 2018 will run from April 4 to 14. For more info about the Bleach* portion of the festival, visit bleachfestival.com.au.
