Australia’s Dark Mofo 2020 Canceled Due to Coronavirus
Dark Mofo, an eclectic annual arts, culture and music festival in Tasmania, the southernmost state of Australia, has been canceled due to the spreading COVID-19 disease.The treasured event was planned to be held in Hobart this June, with Bon Iver (aka Justin Vernon) among its performers.“We’re killing Dark Mofo for the year,” explains Mona founder and owner David Walsh, who launched the midwinter fest in 2013. “I know that will murder an already massacred tourism environment, but I feel like I have no choice.”The cancelation was something of a pre-emptive strike, explained Walsh.
