Byron Bay band Parkway Drive say they are “gutted” and “heartbroken” for their community after the cancellation of the Bluesfest music festival, with its organiser owing ticket holders more than $23m after going into liquidation.
The comments by the metal band, who had planned to celebrate their homecoming tour at the event over the Easter long weekend, comes as a report was being prepared for the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (Asic) that shows the festival owes millions of dollars to ticket holders alone.
