Brisbane's boutique BYO camping music and arts festival, Red Deer has announced it will be taking a one year hiatus in 2014 to ensure the longevity of the festivals home at Foggs Road.
In a statement released today, festival director Julian De Maria stated “The festival has been running off a temporary permit for the first four years and for us to permanently host the event and secure the festival’s future, we have to change the material use of the land,”
"We've done everything we can to get through this application process in time for this year's festival, but unfortunately due to the sheer depth of this permit, it hasn't been possible."
“Our priority for Red Deer is to make sure it retains that intimate, community feel that is all about the experience – and not just another festival.”
“We’re all really passionate about what we do and we think what we’re offering is pretty unique, that's why we're prepared to go to the moon and back to ensure the future of this much loved community event. We’re gutted that there's no festival this year, but we'll be back better than ever.”
No more will our stages lie dormant; no more will our hearts yearn. The Grates are back for a special headline performance at Brisbane’s Red Deer Festival and will now be adding Toowoomba and Gold...
