Melbourne’s much anticipated Push Over Festival has been cancelled as a result of low ticket sales. It was nice to see The Push promoters be totally honest about the reasons behind the decision. “We are disappointed to see ticket sales down on previous years,” said director Shane Wickens. “However we know we’re in the middle of a very tough summer music festival season.” Several of Push Over’s scheduled artists will play a Push Pop Up Stage at Moomba on the same day, which is also all ages and free, and rumour is that plans are in place for more replacement gigs.
