Organisers behind THIS THAT Festival have announced the cancellation of their 2023 events, which were to be held in Newcastle, NSW, and Sandstone Point, QLD.

Taking to Instagram, they wrote: “It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce THIS THAT Sandstone Point (QLD) and Newcastle (NSW) festivals will no longer be going ahead.”

“This difficult decision was reached due to the challenging economic conditions we have been working within this past year, and the many factors that have been impacted by this. It has left us feeling that the THIS THAT experience you have come to know and love, and that we pride ourselves on offering, would only be dampened if we were to forge ahead.”

They continued, “We would like to thank everyone who purchased tickets to our November 2023 dates, and would like to advise that our ticketing partner Oztix will be contacting all ticket holders directly to commence refunds of the net ticket price.”

“These refunds will automatically be returned to the original card used in the purchase process for both QLD and NSW dates. Keep an eye on your inbox for updates regarding this.”
