"Which brings us to a break in regular programming. A rest."

Victoria's famous Meredith festival will not be going ahead this year.

The three day event usually goes ahead in December, however the ongoing COVID restrictions has forced the 2020 festival to be pulled. 

"Like much of the planet, life in Postcode 3333 must contend with a pandemic and adjust to a different beat, for the time being," a statement issued today reads.


"Which brings us to a break in regular programming. A rest. Something which, in itself, is not such an unusual part of the Supernatural trip."

The 2019 festival was a big one for Meredith, which featured live sets from big global and local acts like Liam Gallagher, Róisín Murphy, Briggs, Amyl & The Sniffers and Julia Jacklin.

The statement released today also says that an update on Golden Plains festival - the promoter's Labour Day weekend event - will be provided "as soon as we can".
