FOTSUN tickets have officially sold out in record time, leaving organisers Simon Luke and Scott Mesiti in a state of extreme excitement.
FOTSUN will be held over two big days at the Sundowner Breakwall Tourist Park in Port Macquarie on December 12 and 13.
“We were already so pumped about the festival and it’s incredibly impressive line-up this year,” says FOTSUN director Simon Luke, “but this sort of response from the public really kicks our excitement to the next level. We couldn’t be happier.”
Tickets to this year’s festival, headlined by heavy-hitters The Jezabels, Violent Soho, and Shihad went on sale September 2. Punters didn’t waste any time, snapping up the opportunity to join in on Port Macquarie’s boutique music festival with frenzied enthusiasm.
After 24 hours, more than half of the 3000 tickets available had been purchased; by 48 hours, more than 2000 tickets had found their way into the hot little hands of music lovers Australia-wide, generating a buzz around the festival bigger than any year it’s seen before.
The festival is this year asking punters to embrace their inner child, announcing a superhero theme to help celebrate its 10th year, against an ultimate summer backdrop. Ticket holders are encouraged to don their favourite superhero garb with prizes for best dressed.
“So many people love coming back year after year to FOTSUN and Port Macquarie, because of the sense of community the town and the festival bring together,” Luke said.
“With tickets selling out at record speed this year, this sort of enthusiasm doesn’t just mean big things for us, but for FOTSUN continuing to deliver amazing and unique experiences for another 10 years at least!”
