‘Festival was never profitable’: Rifflandia pulls the plug on Victoria event

Citing rising costs and lack of amenable venue, Victoria’s popular long-running music festival Rifflandia is officially over.“After 18 years, countless memories, and a whole lot of heart, we’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to bring Rifflandia Festival to a close. We held onto hope that we might be able to celebrate one final September together, but ultimately the realities of producing the festival we love made that impossible,” reads the official announcement.&
