Grim financial blow to major festival

Evelyn Richardson from Live Performance Australia said there needs to be government support if Bluesfest is to survive a second lockdown. Picture: NCA NewswireBluesfest typically wraps up the summer festival circuit and has won several local and international awards for its show since its inaugural 1990 event.

She said Live Performance Australia have been calling on federal and state governments to create a ‘business interruption fund’ since last year.“We are just starting to come back now. We cannot survive another six to 12 months with continued lockdowns and this kind of response. Bluesfest director Peter Noble said they really wanted to be at the forefront of the return of live music at pre-COVID-19 level.

He said this weekend they will be packing down the event that was cancelled within 24 hours of gates due to open.

There needs to be protocols in place so hospitality workers exposed to covid don’t travel interstate for a f*cking party. This nurse was clearly not responsible enough to make the right decision herself so do it for her ffs.

Tourist industry continues to be hit hard

I heard it will be put on later in the year.

Surely this could’ve been avoided , a nurse with COVID? Should’ve been vaccinated first FFS
