Important Event Update: The Long Sunset has been cancelled

The Long Sunset, scheduled to take place from 31 October to 2 November at the Boonah Showgrounds, has been cancelled.

Following the recent heavy rain and damaging weather across the Scenic Rim region, the team from QMF has been closely monitoring onsite conditions and assessing safety for staff and patrons. After a full site inspection this morning, assessors have determined the grounds and conditions are unsafe for staff, vendors, and event guests. As a result, a decision has been made to cancel The Long Sunset.

This current state of the event site, coupled with the official forecasts for dangerous and destructive weather conditions expected to continue on Friday 31 October and Saturday 1 November, means this decision has been made in constant consultation with the local government authority, Scenic Rim Regional Council.

A QMF spokesperson said: “While we’re deeply disappointed to cancel The Long Sunset, the safety of our audiences, artists, crew, and staff is our top priority. We thank everyone for their understanding and support.”

All ticket holders have been contacted directly via email and SMS and will receive a refund.
