Event Co-Director Chris Bausor said the event’s unique structure provides it with the opportunity to showcase a large variety of artistic talent in a safe and healthy manner. “Our event runs over three weeks, with capacity limited to a maximum of 4,000 per day, allowing for greater social distancing measures and a unique headline performance each night, which would not be possible in a more traditional format over a shorter period of time,” he said.
Factory Summer Festival organisers Bar Pop have acknowledged the incredible and critical importance of ensuring the health and safety of all attendees and the broader public, and are advising patrons the events will only proceed if there is complete confidence it is safe to do so.
Factory Summer Festival hits Ice Cream Factory at 92 Roe Street, Northbridge, from Friday, December 11 to Thursday, December 31. For more info and to buy tickets head to www.factoryfestival.com.au
