Regrowth Festival Postponed to September 28 - October 1
It is with deep sadness that due to recent weather events we have been forced to postpone the Regrowth Festival. The extreme amounts of rainfall (1 in 100 year levels) have made the site unusable for both safety and environmental reasons. The property owner is in agreement with our assessment that the environmental impact of having a large amount of people on the site in its current condition would cause significant long lasting damage. The safety of the festival patrons is also a major concern with the condition of the roads and campsite access and more rain forecast in the next 3 weeks. The site and road normally drains well and handles rainfall events, however the extreme levels over the past month have made the area completely saturated. All possible back-up sites have been explored and are also unusable. Our deepest apologies to those who have made plans and travel arrangements and to everyone that this decision affects, we wish it didn’t have to be this way. For those who have already bought tickets online, you will receive an email regarding your full refund. If you have bought a hard copy ticket from one of our vendors, please return to the point of purchase for a full refund.
The crew has been working extremely hard over the last 6 months to bring this event to life and we are all gutted that this has come about; however, we remain determined to persevere and stay positive and have set a new date for the festival for the Labour Day (NSW & ACT) long weekend of September 28 – October 1. The format of the festival will remain unchanged however there may be some changes to the music line-up due to availability of artists. Further announcements will be made in the coming weeks. We’re so sorry to not be celebrating with you this Easter and hope you can join us in September. Much love, REGEN.
