The inaugural Rewind Festival has moved location from Wollongong to Sydney venue Horden Pavilion due to ‘climatic conditions’ conspiring against it. The festival will remain a two day event but due to the new location there will no longer be any camping. Customers who purchased camping tickets will be refunded and should contact Moshtix.
Rewind Festival Director Shane Sanderson said in a statement, “We originally chose the location for its beauty and versatility, believing the weather would complement an outdoor festival”
“However, as we have drawn closer to the date, it looks like heavy rains are likely to cause major problems so we had to make a decision. This is extremely unfortunate as we have worked closely with Wollongong City Council and Emergency Authorities to address a range of safety concerns but these ultimately added significant time and cost to the event. With a substantial percentage of ticket holders coming from Sydney, I feel confident that moving the Rewind Festival to Sydney Hordern Pavilion is going to please most and ensure a successful event.”
“We sincerely apologize to the people who wanted to experience the Rewind Festival in all it’s outdoor glory, unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control this will now not be possible and we have been left with a very difficult decision to either not proceed at all which would be a great loss for everyone or find another venue at short notice and the Hordern Pavilion has kindly agreed to house the event allowing us to put the show on.”
