The Burra Country Music Festival announced that they have postponed this year’s festival to 2022, citing COVID-19 restrictions and a drop in sponsorship as the contributing factors to the decision. “Most of the local businesses have been affected by COVID and our major sponsors AGL were cutting sponsorship down this year,” Burra Country Music Committee secretary Karen O’Brien said. “There were going to be increases in responsibility so far as COVID marshalling, cleaning and accommodation. “It would have taken more volunteers and costs incurred for us as a committee, coupled with the fact that sponsorship was going to be down with no guarantee that there weren’t going to be more flare ups with the virus.”
