Under the Southern Stars postponed to 2022

The Under the Southern Stars spectacular Aussie rock concert series has been postponed. Again.

The Under the Southern Stars spectacular concert series featuring 
Cheap TrickBush and Stone Temple Pilots has once again been postponed.

Originally scheduled for April 2020 then moved to April/ May 2021, the event has once again been postponed due to the effects of Covid-19 and amid safety concerns for crew and patrons.

The event organisers have reassured ticket holders that rescheduled dates and new line-up additions will be confirmed in the coming weeks and all tickets already purchased will still be valid.

The event organisers issued a statement this morning about the reasons behind the postponement.

“We must protect our patrons, our artists and our crews. 

“Given the disappointingly slow roll-out of the vaccine by the Government, there is no confidence that we can keep all safe and proceed as planned at our festivals this May. The continuing mismanagement of the Covid-19 situation at all levels of government has led to numerous inconsistencies and on-going broken promises by officials that ultimately affect the safety of our patrons, artists and our crews, both domestic and international. So much so that the situation presents too much to risk to go forward with the dates as planned at the end of April and into May 2021. 

“The very recent eleventh hour cancellation of Byron Bay Bluesfest by the NSW government on the eve of the landmark festivals start date over Easter was an incredibly disheartening display of what could possibly happen to our patrons, artists and crews – being left stranded high and dry only moments before one of our events is set to kick off.  We wish to protect all, and avoid a situation such as this. 

“To keep all involved as safe as we can and limit the possibility of getting stuck in the middle of further snap lockdowns, border closures and other knee-jerk reactions, we have to move Under The Southern Stars to a time that gives the series its best chance of running smoothly, as planned and ultimately allowing for the best experience possible to all ticket holders.

“This is not a decision that we have taken lightly, but the safety of all is our motivation.”

Under The Southern Stars promoter, Andrew McManus also issued the following statement.

“We ask you all to continue to believe in us. We must protect our artists and patrons. We get it … how many times can the Australian system force another postponement? So we are making the hard decision to reschedule Under The Southern Stars to the first quarter of 2022 and ask that all our valued supporters hold on to their tickets and in return we will be announcing some truly exciting additions to the line-up and festival circuit!”
