The startup festival named SandTunes - headlined by Travis Scott, Logic and Carly Rae Jepsen has been cancelled.

The Queensland "festival on the beach" was set to take place at the end of November at the Gold Coast’s Metricon Stadium (after moving locations from Coolangatta Beach), but promoters, have confirmed that the weekender will not be going ahead.

CEO Paul Dainty said, “We tried our best to make Metricon work for SandTunes, but the reality is that without sand between our punters’ toes, the very notion of the beachside festival in a stadium meant low sales and we had to make the hard decision to cancel this major Gold Coast event”. 

Sandtunes is also offering punters full refunds.
