EXCLUSIVE: Brisbane's New Full Tilt Festival Postponed - 'It's A Crushing Blow'

The Brisbane leg of the new Full Tilt touring festival has been postponed.

The news comes following today's Melbourne's extended lockdown announcement - as well as the recent Queensland border closure to Victorians - with organisers confirming that the event will now take place on Saturday 7 August.

"It’s a crushing blow but due to the current COVID-19 extended lockdown in Victoria and with the Queensland borders being shut for the foreseeable future, we have been left with no choice but to reschedule the sold out Brisbane leg of Full Tilt which was to take place on Saturday 12 June at Eaton’s Hill Outdoor," said organisers in a statement today.  

"We are devastated but incredibly proud of our team at Destroy All Lines for all their hard work and we will march on.

"We are thrilled to announce that all artists originally announced will be able to make the new date. 

"We would like to thank all fans for your support and understanding during these difficult times and we appreciate your patience through the uncertainty of the last week. Can't wait to see you in the pit!"

Headliners Northlane will be joined by Hands Like Houses, In Hearts Wake, Thy Art Is Murder, Luca Brasi, Slowly Slowly, Make Them Suffer, Frenzal Rhomb, Thornhill, Press Club, Alpha Wolf, Yours Truly, The Bennies and Reliqa on the 7 August line-up. 

Organisers have confirmed that tickets will remain valid for the new date, while fans travelling from interstate for the show who are unable to attend the new date can exchange their ticket for any other Full Tilt event. Refunds are also available at the point of purchase. 

Full Tilt is currently scheduled for Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne throughout July. Head to theGuide for all the info on dates, locations and tickets.
