News : Rolling Thunder Festival Loses Venue

By on November 19, 2015

So a few days ago, we reported on the new Rolling Thunder Festival that is set to kick off next year at Kryal Castle. Sadly, the festival has lost this venue as it was deemed too high of a risk.

The show promoter Heathen Skulls shared this announcement over Facebook:

Due to unfortunate circumstances that related to a previous event at Kryal Castle, it is with a heavy heart that we announce it is no longer possible to hold Rolling Thunder Festival at the Kryal Castle site. We would like nothing more than to continue as originally planned but the situation is now outside of our control and the venue is concerned about alcohol fuelled violence due to their recent experiences. Although we appreciate the efforts of everyone involved, it has become apparent that Rolling Thunder Festival needs to find a more suitable home. 

With that said, we can happily report that we’ve now found an amazing new site that alleviates one of our biggest concerns…. How are our punters going to get home safely in the evening? Answer: You don’t have to leave in the evening, you will now be able to camp overnight! Full details of the new site, location & transport will be announced very soon, stay tuned.
All tickets to the Kryal Castle will be valid for the new site.

We understand that the new location may not suit everyone, for that reason anyone wishing to get a refund is welcome to do so, please email and we’ll process your refund: rollingthundermelbourne@gmail.com

While no specific details of the new location has been shared as of yet, those who have already purchased tickets can rest easy: as those tickets will still be valid at the new venue. Refunds are available though if necessary.
