Recent event restrictions introduced in New South Wales by the state government could force event organisers of This That Festival to cancel the Newcastle leg (scheduled for 26 February).
A post to their Facebook page this afternoon indicates options are currently being explored for the NSW event, with tickets holders told to 'hold tight for a week'.
The Queensland event at Sandstone Point Hotel (featuring The Rubens, San Cisco, Spacey Jane, Hayden James, Meg Mac and more) has been confirmed as '100 per cent going ahead as planned'.
Statement from This That Festival:
Hi THIS THAT fam,
We're just jumping in to keep you updated following the recent event restrictions announcement from the NSW Government and what it means for THIS THAT Newcastle.
Firstly the good news is we can CONFIRM that THIS THAT in QLD [Sandstone Point] is 100 per cent going ahead as planned and we look forward to seeing you on Saturday 5 March, we can't wait to party in QLD.
To our Newcastle ticket holders, we have worked tirelessly over the past two years to do our best to deliver THIS THAT to you, and to fall short with the recently announced restrictions by one day is devastating, we're extremely disappointed on the decision but understand.
Right now we're asking our Newcastle ticket holders to please hold tight for a week while we explore all options for the NSW event and will update you as soon as we know more.
We would like to assure you that if THIS THAT is canceled we will offer all ticket holders a full refund.
We appreciate your understanding and will have an update for you on Newcastle very soon. And to our Queensland fam, see you in a few weeks!
Thanks
