Splendour In The Grass Cancels First Day Of Main Music Acts Due To Wet Weather

A significant weather system is sitting nearby and organisers want to be safe rather than sorry.

Splendour in the Grass organisers have cancelled the main acts for the first day of the music festival.

The festival site had been plagued by biblically bad weather as thousands of Aussies descended on the region.

Many have been sheltered under whatever they can find to avoid the rain and it looks like they won't even get to blow off some steam tonight.


Organisers have released a statement saying: "In the interest of patron safety and in consultation with all relevant emergency services, we have decided to err on the side of caution and cancel performances on the main stages today only – Amphitheatre, Mix Up, GW McLeannan and Park(lands) stages."

They said a significant weather system is sitting off the coast and it's better to be safe than sorry.

“Please relax and enjoy what is open. Day patrons are asked not to attend the festival today while we work on repairs,” event organisers said.

“In the coming week Moshtix will be in contact with the ticket holders affected directly, via the email address used to purchase their ticket, for further information on refunds.

“We ask for patience while we work through the refund process. Please be assured that our event team is working very hard to provide the best experience possible under the current circumstances.”

It's believed the festival will get back to regular programming for the Saturday and Sunday.

It's unclear whether the acts that were meant to perform today (July 22) will be spread across the rest of the weekend.
