​Press Release

Regfest Wangaratta – Update on Rodeo Component

Regfest wishes to advise that the rodeo component of the 2025 Wangaratta Regfest will not be going ahead.

This has been a very difficult decision, with the site previously used for Regfest not available in 2025. Please see the following statement from Council:

“Council and the landowner are currently undertaking a review of the use of the former Rodeo Grounds (Regfest 2024+ 2023 event site) and its suitability for these types of events. As these works continue, Regfest 2025 will be relocated to an alternative site. Despite extensive efforts by Council, a location to meet the needs of the event organiser has not been identified. Council is committed to supporting this event.”

Despite working closely with Council and searching extensively across the region, we have not been able to secure a suitable site that can accommodate music, rodeo, and camping together.

Cancelling the festival completely was never an option for us — the show must go on. While we understand that some attendees will be disappointed, Regfest is first and foremost a music festival company. The heart of what we deliver across Australia is live music and camping experiences, and these remain the cornerstones of our events and what our ticket holders most value.

We appreciate the community’s understanding and ongoing support, and we remain committed to creating an unforgettable 2025 Wangaratta Regfest experience for all.

Please note the concert will now be located adjacent to the former site, with camping still available at the showgrounds.
