Message from event organisers:
'It is with great sadness that the organisers of the Marysville Music Weekend have made the difficult decision to cancel this year's event.
'Despite optimism over the past few months that the situation would be stable enough to go ahead with the festival in some way, the recent flare-up of COVID-19 in Victoria and resulting uncertainty mean that staging a safe, quality event this October is impossible.
'The good news is that the Marysville Music Weekend will be back stronger than ever in 2021 with both headliners The Pierce Brothers and Geoff Achison's Guitar Showdown having signed on for next year's event.'
