The Cold Chisel concert at All Saints Estate in Victoria’s Rutherglen wine region has been cancelled tonight due to bushfires.
EPA Victoria rated the air quality of the venue “hazardous” as a result of bushfires in Albury, Wodonga and surrounding areas. The Bureau of Meteorology advised that wind conditions were unlikely to improve an already unsafe situation.
“We are extremely disappointed to cancel today’s event at All Saints Estate but the unsafe conditions give us no other option,” shared Roundhouse Entertainment Promoter, Michael Newton. “Our first priority is the safety of patrons, staff and artists and with air quality on the site and in surrounding areas now at a hazardous level, we have no other option but to cancel today’s show.
“We have been on-site for the past week preparing for the show, and sadly we have seen the air quality deteriorate to a level where we have been advised that it would not be safe to proceed. We are also concerned about traffic, given the fires in the area. This is a really unfortunate situation. We do not cancel shows lightly, and we are devastated that we have had to cancel what would have been our first show for 2020.”
All tickets purchased for the concert will be eligible for a refund. As it stands the remaining sold-out A Day on the Green shows in Victoria, at Rochford Wines in the Yarra Valley on Friday and Mt Duneed Estate in Geelong on Saturday, “will go ahead as planned”.
