COVID-19 Response For 2021 Ticket Holders
Bass Coast would like to acknowledge that we collaborate, celebrate, and innovate on the shared traditional territories of the Nłeʔkepmx and Syilx. This would have been our ninth year at the Merritt Festival site and many of you have been with us for the entire thirteen year journey. We thank you all.
After carefully considering the information available to us at this time, we are making the difficult decision to postpone the 2021 edition of Bass Coast Festival to July 8-11, 2022 (dates subject to change). Without knowing what public health measures will be in place this July, we lack the critical information necessary to contract infrastructure, book artists and secure vendors. We feel this decision aligns with our commitment to delivering a safe, immersive experience of the highest calibre.
Tickets purchased for 2021 and subsequent years will be bumped one year forward. This is disappointing news to communicate, but we are optimistic about 2022. We are committed to using this time to plan a safe and cutting-edge event. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
To mark the weekend of this year’s event, Bass Coast Festival presents Pixel Virtual festival July 8 & 9, 2021.
The original ticket re-allocation was spread out over 3 years 2021, 2022 & 2023.
The new ticket re-allocation:
- If your ticket was re-allocated for 2021 it is now valid in 2022
- If your ticket was re-allocated for 2022 it is now valid in 2023
