Aussie festivalgoers will have to wait a little longer for the return of Scene & Heard, with organisers today announcing new dates for the 2021 event.
Following advice from local, state and national authorities, the team behind next year’s event, which will feature Grinspoon, Regurgitator, Ratcat, Frenzal Rhomb, COG, Killing Heidi, Custard, Caligula and more, has announced the festival will now take place next November instead of February.
“Due to State Government and current standing Federal Government Public Health Orders regarding COVID-19, multi-stage mass music gathering events are not permissible in ‘true’ festival format just yet,” a statement from organisers reads.
“Coupled with planning timelines, this has made it impossible for us to deliver the well-loved Scene & Heard festival format by February - one that would both satisfy current government compliance, and more importantly give you the full Scene & Heard experience you’ve come to love. We understand the inconvenience this has caused everyone involved.”
Scene & Heard will now take over Wickham Park Newcastle on November 7.
