Wide Open Space Festival will take place from May 1 to 3 at Ross River Resort, which is an hour’s drive from Alice Springs. Full festival tickets and day passes are on sale now here.
The long-running festival began in 2009 and took a break in 2019 to “rest and refocus”, the fest’s website says.
In a statement at the time, Wide Open Space Festival’s directors wrote, “There’s some work to do on strategic visioning and systems development, and we’re listening to our people and the community who want to take the time to get this right.
“We want WOS to continue for many years to come and we need this time to ensure we can plan for that. Thanks to all of our supporters and we look forward to working with the community and our event partners to make the 2020 event the best one yet.”
