ADELAIDE, South Australia (CelebrityAccess) — Turmoil in Australia’s festival market continued on Friday as organizers for the Adelaide-based Harvest Rock festival announced that the event will be on hiatus for 2024.
In a statement announcing the change, the festival team said:
“After two years of eating, drinking and dancing in Adelaide, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone Harvest Rock 2024. This decision was made to ensure that Harvest Rock continues to deliver the experience that our local, national and international fans have come to know and love into the future. We would like to recognize and appreciate the ongoing support of the South Australian Government for Harvest Rock.
“For the dedicated fans who bought early tickets in 2023 you will automatically be refunded through the original point of purchase within 14 days. We look forward to delivering another amazing Harvest Rock in the future.”
The two-day festival takes place in Adelaide in October and during its 2022 debut, it featured an international lineup that included Jamiroquai, Beck, Nile Rodgers & Chic, Bright Eyes, and more.
While a reason for the cancellation was not provided, reps for producer Secret Sounds told the Adelaide Advertiser that they were unable to book an appropriate headline act for the show this year.
Harvest Rock joins a growing list of Australian music festivals that have been canceled this year, including Splendour in the Grass and Groovin The Moo.
