Rotorua's Raggamuffin festival won't be impacted by a cancellation of the event in Australia.
Organiser Jackie Sanders said it has become economically non-viable to continue with the Australian concerts in the bigger format. A smaller concert featuring some of the acts would perform in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.
However, Rotoruahad always been the biggest event of the touring show, attracting more than all of the Australian events put together and it was not under threat, Ms Sanders said.
