While there aren’t activities specifically for children, this is a proudly all ages event with music, food and markets for all to enjoy.

Agnes Blues, Roots & Rock Festival loves kids and is an all ages event. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Agnes Blues Roots & Rock Festival is planned as an all weather event. The Marquees have capacity for all of our patrons and are great for shade. A few showers would not cause the event to be cancelled. If that were to happen we would encourage our guests to enjoy the rain, get out and dance in it!

Food and drink cannot be brought into the venue (apart from water). There will be food stalls available for patrons to purchase food and drinks. Cups of water will be available free of charge.

The bar at the festival operates on a ticketed system. Drink tickets must be purchased from the Festival Box Office over the course of the weekend for presentation at the bar. Drink tickets can be purchased by card (preferred) or cash, there will NOT be any ATMs available on site.

No cash refunds will be given for unused drink tickets at the end of the Festival – so drink up and enjoy responsibly. Mid strength beers, wine and RTD spirits will be available.

You cannot share your ticket. On entry to the festival you will be fitted with a wristband corresponding with your ticket type. You must leave your wristband on for the duration of its validity. Once the wristband is removed it becomes void. Anyone found without an approved wrist band will be ejected from the venue and must purchase a new ticket to be re-admitted.

If you need to arrange a name change on your tickets, you must send this request and details to us.

The Agnes Blues Roots & Rock Festival is an all-weather event with plenty of undercover areas for all attendees to enjoy the Festival. No refunds will be issued on tickets due to inclement weather, or if you simply change your mind about attending. Traditionally, ticket purchases cannot be exchanged, returned or refunded. Our event adheres to all Queensland Government directives and procedures when requested.

Festival Management has the right to refuse entry.
