Australia’s longest running all-ages festival, Push Over, has announced that it has cancelled its 2014 event, scheduled for Monday March 10th at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. The event was scheduled to include Pez, Chance Waters, Deez Nuts, The Smith Street Band, All Day, Remi and many more…
Over its 21 years, it has provided valuable experience for over a thousand young event managers, while providing formative festival performances for some of Australia’s favourite touring artists such as Parkway Drive, Killing Heidi, The Living End and Silverchair.
Push Over Festival Director Shane Wickens said, “We are disappointed to see ticket sales down on previous years, however we know we’re in the middle of a very tough summer music festival season. It’s now time to revamp the model for the future. We apologise to the artists who have made a commitment to Push Over and to the music fans who have purchased tickets. Refunds are available at the point of sale.”
Push Over will now add a new free all-ages music stage to the Moomba Festival at Birrarung Marr, Melbourne on Monday March 10th. More information on this stage, which the AU expects to include selections from the original lineup, will be posted soon on: http://www.thepush.com.au/
The event plans to return in 2015, “bigger and better than ever…”
