The Red Hot Summer show, featuring Jimmy Barnes, Hoodoo Gurus, Jon Stevens, Diesel, Vika & Linda and Chris Cheney, has been moved from October 23 to January 22.
Tour promoter Duane McDonald says everyone involved worked to ensure the shows in NSW, Victoria and the ACT could still proceed safely.
"We are disappointed to advise that due to the ongoing situation with COVID-19, which includes event and border restrictions, many of the dates slated for October and November 2021 have been rescheduled," he says.
"The good news is that rather than cancel, our artists have come together and are looking forward to getting back on stage in January and February."
Patrons are urged to hold onto their tickets which are automatically valid for the new show date. All ticket purchasers will receive direct communication from Ticketmaster in the coming hours.
The new date means Roche Estate will host concerts over three consecutive weekends in January, with the rescheduled Grapevine Gathering (featuring Peking Duk, the Veronicas and the Jungle Giants) set down for January 15, and the SummerSalt festival (featuring the Teskey Brothers, The Cat Empire and John Butler) to be held on January 29.
The Big Ram Beer and BBQ Festival at Hope Estate is now set down for May 28 and 29, 2022.
The event had already been postponed to the last weekend of October, from its original dates of August 14 and 15.
"All current tickets will be transferred to the new dates and ticketholders will be contacted via email with this information. We'd like to thank everyone for their support and understanding," the venue said in a Facebook post on Friday.
