The organisers of Ranch Fest 2024 have confirmed the cancellation of the festival.

Ranch Fest was initially set to take place in Tullaroan over the May bank-holiday weekend, with its inaugural date postponed to July due to logistical issues however festival organisers have now made the hard decision to cancel.

"It is with our deepest regret that we have to announce that Ranch-Fest 2024 will not go ahead," a statement published online read.

"We have not recovered from our postponed event, and it is no longer financially viable to push on," the statement added.

"We would like to thank those of you who have stuck by us and those who took the opportunity to purchase tickets on our second attempt. Ranch-Fest provided an unbelievable lineup for 2024, and we will be back."

"Thank you to the artists, fans, organisers, and all those involved for the gallant efforts made to try to make this happen," the statement concluded.
