The Pitch Music and Arts Festival in Moyston, Victoria, was cancelled while festival-goers were already on-site recently, after an extreme fire danger warning was issued.
Cancellations like these have become all too familiar.
The live music and festival industry is currently struggling with significant challenges, including expensive insurance premiums and the cost of living crisis impacting ticket sales. In particular are the challenges associated with climate change, as extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, severe and unpredictable.
