UPDATE 11/08/21: In response to Sydney's ongoing lockdown and border closures, this event which was previously scheduled for Jul 10-18 has been cancelled.
In some not entirely surprising but still sad news, it was today confirmed that the Winter the Domain music festival will not go ahead. This includes Winter Park, which promised to bring an ice rink, food vendors and 'winter activities' to the Domain.
"We tried our best and worked with the NSW government and Royal Botanic Garden Sydney to confirm new dates but the health and safety of patrons, crew, suppliers, artists and staff is most important and there’s no certainty as to when that could be assured," the organisers said in a statement.
Everyone who purchased tickets will get their money back, however, the organisers have asked for patience as due to the number of cancellations, the refund process is taking slightly longer than usual. You can find more information about cancellations here. If you used a NSW Discover voucher for your booking, their team will be in contact.
We will be sad not to see the wicked line-up of outdoor gigs under the Big Top that the festival promised – including a rainbow concert from LGBTQIA+ party starters Heaps Gay, the Presets, Hot Dub Time Machine, Missy Higgins, Dan Sultan, Coterie, Cat Empire, Boy & Bear, Ball Park Music, Matt Corby and Holy Holy.
But here's looking forward to some top-notch events when we're on the other side of this! Mask up and stay safe Sydney.
