"Well it’s definitely been a whirlwind start to 2022, after more clarification and information shared with us over the past few days, we regret to announce that Jim Beam Homegrown 2022 will not be able to go ahead, and the event has to cancel.
This is to ensure the safety of our artists, crew, and of course you, our loyal attendees and friends.
We understand the disappointment and frustration you will be feeling, and believe us, we feel it too. ❤️
We would love you to hang onto your tickets and party with us next year at Jim Beam Homegrown 2023!! Your existing tickets will automatically be valid for 2023, so if you want to show your support and hang on to them you don’t have to do a thing! If you do require a refund, you will have been sent an email with instructions on how to do this, and refunds will be available to process from 9am Monday 14th February until Monday 14th March 2022.
Again, we do feel you, we hear you, and if we could make the event happen, we would.
It's a super tough time for the events industry right now, and our hearts go out to you all. We are sending our deepest aroha to everyone affected.
We will now be focusing our attention on delivering you a bigger and better Jim Beam Homegrown 2023! As always, we genuinely appreciate your ongoing support for Homegrown and Kiwi music!
Kia kaha, stay safe, look after one another, and we will see you March 18th 2023."
