NSW opposition has once again pushed for Bluesfest to be compensated with a business interruption fund following its 11th hour cancellation.
Shadow Music Minister John Graham once again renewed the call again late last week, saying it was necessary for the stateâs festival scene to confidently organise large-scale events without risking further losses.
âThe Treasurer made some encouraging comments on this when the festival was first cancelled but weâve heard radio silence since,â he said.
âFestivals who saw Bluesfest forced to close the gates 24 hours before the event wonât be back unless theyâre given greater certainty; this is one way to do it.
