Due to the significant pressures currently impacting Australian live event audiences and the industry, TEG Live has made the difficult decision to postpone the OUT 2 LUNCH Festival from its planned May 2026 dates to 2027.

Across Australia, fans and communities are navigating significant pressures arising from the cost-of-living crisis, rising inflation and broader economic uncertainty. TEG Live believes it is important to ensure that Out 2 Lunch fans can fully enjoy the festival without added financial strain.

Australia imports around 90% of its fuel and the ongoing Iran War has resulted in cancelled shipments, delayed deliveries and acute diesel shortages that will endure through to the end of May and is creating substantial economic uncertainty across the country.

The decision comes as the festival’s national expansion - with four large-scale events spread across nine days and spanning the entire country - faces considerable challenges as the diesel fuel shortage will impact the trucking logistics, power generators, production infrastructure and a multitude of suppliers and services that underpin a major touring festival.

While the excitement for the festival has been incredible, the team has made the proactive decision to move the tour to ensure the festival can proceed at a later time without disruption to fans, artists, suppliers and festival stakeholders.

Tim McGregor, Global Head of Touring, TEG Live:

“Given the severe pressures on fuel supplies and consumer sentiment right now, we have to do the right thing and postpone the festival so that greater needs can be prioritised during this critical period, which we understand will be most acute during the next 6-8 weeks. The scale of this touring festival is immense and delivering a world-class experience is our top priority — we believe rescheduling to 2027 is the best way to ensure we can deliver the incredible, high-quality festival that fans deserve.”

FISHER:

“I’m really bummed at the moment, at what is happening. And no one more than me would like to put on this show for you guys. We tried all angles but unfortunately we had to postpone due to the circumstances that were put before us. This is something that I don’t take lightly. I’ve seen this before, back in 2020 and 2021 when we had to postpone my shows 2 times before they ended up playing out, although it wasn’t what we wanted, it was the right thing for the fans in the end so we could put on the best show for you. Sometimes the pause is part of the plan. 2027 is worth the wait.”

New dates for OUT 2 LUNCH 2027 will be announced in due course. Tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled dates. All existing ticket holders who wish to obtain a refund can do so.

The Out2Lunch team thanks fans for their patience and understanding during what is an unprecedented situation for Australia.
