Output Festival Relocates Due To ‘Safety Concerns’

Staff Writer

The original venue has been described as too “fragile" and "historic”

Sydney’s Output Festival has announced a new venue following “event and safety concerns” at its original location.

Slated to go down on November 25 with performances from Optimo, Mall Grab, CC:Disco! and more, the house, disco and techno extravaganza has shifted from the “fragile, historic” Middle Head Fort to Goat Island after they received an overwhelming response to do so.

Ferry transportation from Darling Harbour is now included in all tickets at no additional cost, and the festival is offering refunds if, “for any reason, the venue change isn’t for you”.
