In order to comply with the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, the 2021 festival was moved to a bigger venue to allow for social distancing, split into four separate zones in order to enhance contact tracing efforts, and featured a dual revolving stage setup to minimise contact during changeovers between artists and road crew members.
New Zealand artists Benee and Wax Mustang also had to withdraw from the lineup due to border restrictions in both Australia and New Zealand; they were replaced by Dope Lemon and Nerve Due to the impacts of the 2022 eastern Australia floods on the Wollongong area, and the site of Stuart Park in particular, the 2022 iteration of the festival was cancelled.
