The Parish of Pokolbin's End2End festival - which was to be held across four venues on September 18 - has been called off for the second year running.

Ticketholders are urged to hold onto their tickets for next year's festival, which is set down for September 17.

"All tickets purchased for the 2020 and 2021 festival will now be valid for the 2022 event," festival organiser Grant Smith said.

"We are a small group of businesses in the Pokolbin region trying to raise awareness of Pokolbin and what we have to offer.

"This postponement has a major effect on our businesses so we would ask you to help support us by not requesting a refund but holding onto your tickets and coming to visit the festival in September 2022.

"If you do wish to take advantage of a refund they are available from the members section of the website until August 31."

Roche Estate music festival Grapevine Gathering - featuring Peking Duk, Jungle Giants and The Veronicas - has been postponed from October 9 to January 15, while Hope Estate's Hope Rocks festival, which was to be held on October 16, has been moved to February 5.

Hope Rocks headliner James Reyne is confirmed for the rescheduled date as is the other six Australian acts - The Baby Animals, Rose Tattoo, Choirboys, Models, Boom Crash Opera and Nick Barker and the Reptiles.

Other music festivals scheduled for October include Dashville Skyline (October 1 to 3) and Roche Estate's Red Hot Summer (October 23), featuring Jimmy Barnes and Hoodoo Gurus.

No official decision has been announced on those festivals, but with the Greater Sydney lockdown extended to the end of September, postponements are expected soon.

Dashville chief Matt Johnston conceded Skyline "doesn't look positive" but he will delay making a decision on the music festival until September.

The Lower Belford venue's punk, metal and hard rock festival, Thrashville, has been postponed from September 11 to November 6 as "plan A" or to February 12 as "plan B"; while its PigSty in July event has been postponed for a fourth time from August 28 to November 27.

Due to the three-day line-up - which features the likes of The Black Sorrows, The Murlocs, and Bellbird's own William Crighton - Johnston said Skyline could not be rescheduled like PigSty and Thrashville.

Johnston, like many promoters and small business owners, is pinning his hopes on the vaccine roll-out restoring normality.

"It seems like the vaccine roll-out is going to determine it. Which is good in some ways as there's something to hold onto, some form of resolution potentially," he said.

"It gives us a bit of hope for a timeframe. We're getting into 18 months now and we're all on our last legs."

Hope Estate had already moved its Big Ram Beer and BBQ Festival from August to the last weekend in October.

Other local events cancelled due to the latest COVID restrictions include the Cessnock Stomp Festival in October and Simple Minds' show at Bimbadgen Estate in December.
