This year's Rhythm and Vines has fallen victim to the Traffic Light system
2 December 2021
The organisers of the annual New Year's festival at Gisborne's Waiohika Estate have postponed until Easter Weekend 2022.
Refunds will be offered to ticket-holders who can't make the new date from April 15 to 17.
Gisborne will enter the traffic light system in the Red zone at midnight - which only allows gatherings of 100 vaccinated people.
Rhythm and Vines draws crowds of more than 20-thousand festival goers.
Director Keiran Spillane says they won't be stung by Easter liquor rules.
He says they operate under a special license - and have had confirmation it won't be a problem.
