OneWorld Entertainment regrettably announces the postponement of the Raggamuffin All Stars Sydney and Melbourne Side Shows, scheduled for Sunday Feb 19 in Melbourne, and Tuesday Feb 21 in Sydney. This is due to the postponement of the Raggamuffin Music Festival due to take place in Auckland New Zealand on Saturday Feb 18. Refunds are available from point of purchase. Please see below statement from the promoter regarding the postponement of the New Zealand Festival. New dates will be announced shortly.
OneWorld Entertainment regrettably announces the postponement of Raggamuffin Music Festival until Spring 2017
Raggamuffin X was to be held on Saturday 18 February at The Trusts Arena, Auckland.
Raggamuffin promoter Andrew McManus said slow ticket sales for the Festival and an extremely busy events market in Auckland have meant it is no longer viable to hold Raggamuffin X next weekend.
“Ticket sales for the Festival have slowed in recent weeks and appear to have been impacted by various factors including an announcement that train services will now not be available on the event date due to track work being done. Patron comfort, security and the importance of protecting local suppliers is paramount and was at the forefront of this decision. With these factors in mind we have no option but to postpone Raggamuffin X to November 2017,” Mr McManus said. “This will give us time to work through campaigns and the overall success of the project both in New Zealand and for associated concerts in Australia.”
Mr McManus said he had been in contact with the bands and artists booked to play the Festival and the headliners had given an assurance that they would be available to return in November. He added that the November date also allowed for consideration of requests to take Raggamuffin outside Auckland and bring back the ‘road trip’ aspect of the festival, and potential camping experience for supporters and lovers or reggae music.
“We sincerely apologise for inconveniences caused by this decision. I can assure all that every aspect has been reviewed and this decision has not been made lightly.”
Ticket purchasers can retain their tickets and await further information on a new date and venue. Refunds are available through point of purchase.
