Lost Weekend fell over on the weekend.
The official statement reads:
“After moving from Ivory's Rock to the Brisbane River Stage, The Lost Weekend has had insufficient time to achieve critical mass and we have been left with no choice but to cancel the event.
“As local promoters it was our dream to run an event similar to other regional events like Meredith in Victoria and to bring such an event to SE QLD.
“This is one of the saddest and most difficult decisions we have ever had to make.
“We apologise to the real music fans that have supported The Lost Weekend and purchased tickets.
“A FULL REFUND will be available to all of you from the point of purchase next week.
“We also apologise to the bands who had committed to our dream”.
