After being forced to call off its first event in 12 years in 2020, NSW's Strawberry Fields festival will return this year.
The event will return to its home of Murray Bank in Tocumwal from 29-31 October.
"We want to bring back the Strawberry you remember. Diverse live music, dancing, the bush spa, swimming, art, workshops and boundary-pushing sustainability initiatives," festival director Tara Benney said.
"But let's not ignore the elephant in the room; the world has changed a little since our last dance. We will be doing everything within our power to plan our most fantastic festival to date and will stay in close contact with planning authorities on how to do that.
"We will keep you informed as much as possible and will not go forward with an event which doesn’t stay true to our roots."
The 2020 Strawberry Fields was called off due to the COVID restrictions and the 2021 festival will go ahead as a COVID-safe event.
"If we are forced to cancel due to COVID-19, we will reschedule the festival Tickets will roll to those new dates," Benney said.
"If you cannot make the new dates, you will be guaranteed a 90% refund of your ticket price. We will introduce a 10% COVID-19 cancellation fee to cover the considerable cost of planning and building a damn fine festival all year long.
"We have introduced this policy because insurance companies refuse to provide cover for COVID-19 cancellations.
"So, if you want your favourite music, arts and camping festivals to return, we need your support to make it happen. As a small collectable token of thanks, we will be giving every ticket holder a limited-edition badge, showing you voted for music and art in 2021.”
