BREAKING NEWS: Venue Change for Midnight Oil Coffs Harbour Concert

The venue for the Midnight Oil Great Circle 2017 Concert in Coffs Harbour on Thursday night has been changed.

Due to significant weekend rainfall, and the forecast of more rain over the next 72 hours, Coffs Harbour City Council, Frontier Touring, John Logan Entertainment and Midnight Oil management have met and reviewed the site for Midnight Oil’s show on Thursday 19 October.

In the interests of public safety and the overall enjoyment of the event for attendees, the decision has been made to move this concert from the Hockey Fields to the nearby C.ex Coffs International Stadium forecourt.

While rain is not currently forecast for Thursday evening, the C.ex Stadium forecourt will be much firmer underfoot than the currently waterlogged Hockey Fields.

Limited tickets still remain available for this hugely anticipated show.

Frontier Touring told Triple M, all other organisational details including show times, bar, food and conditions of entry remain the same.

Ticketholders’ existing show ticket(s) remain valid for entry at the new venue with no further action required.

Additional buses are being organised as car parking will be at a premium. Event organisers encourage ticketholders to car pool where possible, and to use park and ride locations to catch the free buses to the venue.

Ticketholders are recommended to keep listening to 106.3 Triple M, and keep an eye on the websites and social media of Midnight Oil, Frontier Touring, Coffs Coast, John Logan Entertainment and Triple M for further updates.

Gates Open at 4pm, with Jack River at 5:45pm, Jebediah at 6:45pm and Midnight Oil at 8pm.  The show will approximately finish at 10pm.

TRANSPORT DETAILS

Free buses will leave various venues including Park Avenue in the City Centre and the Coffs Harbour Racing Club from 4pm, and return after the concert.

Parking will be available in Howard Street at the Coffs Harbour Racecourse and the City Centre.

Buses will start leaving from the Racecourse at 4pm, proceeding to Park Avenue in the City Centre, then on to the Hockey Field with buses running every 15 – 20 minutes until around 6:30pm or as required.
