Programme and Event Changes

The Organiser reserves the right, where necessary, to add, withdraw or substitute artists or performers, and/or vary the advertised programme, event times, seating arrangements, audience capacity or other operational arrangements.

Such changes may arise due to instructions issued by competent authorities, the unavailability of an artist or performer, health and safety considerations, production requirements or other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Organiser.

Where such changes do not constitute a material change to the event, they will not ordinarily give rise to an entitlement to a refund. This does not prejudice any rights which patrons may have under applicable law.

Rescheduling, Relocation or Cancellation

Should Rockestra 2026 be rescheduled or moved to another date or venue, ticket holders will, where applicable, be offered the option to:

• Retain or exchange their ticket for the rescheduled event or new venue; or
• Request a refund in accordance with the applicable ticketing terms.

Should the event be cancelled, ticket holders may be offered the option of transferring their ticket to a future event or receiving a refund of the ticket price.
