Bluesfest owner Peter Noble: ‘I don’t want to have to sell my event’ – Sydney Morning Herald
The industry veteran says there could have been “other options” instead of cancelling the first major music festival in the country since COVID struck.
Weve dropped $10-11 million, a day before the festival, he says. He cant even begin to estimate the losses suffered by the various suppliers in the region – including the caterers who stocked up in anticipation of feeding 50,000 people over five days, whose food will mostly go to waste – but says there would be 600 or 700 workers on site, 250 just in our bars.
