The dream's not over yet.

That's the word from Rhythm and Vines' organisers as they wait with bated breath to hear whether the Gisborne festival can go ahead this year.

East Coast Labour MP Kiri Allan this morning claimed organisers said the region will need to be 90 per cent fully vaccinated, for it to go ahead.

Tairawhiti DHB is sitting at 69 per cent double dosed. 

But co-organiser Hamish Pinkham told Heather du Plessis-Allan it's the Government go ahead they're waiting on.

“We don’t set a public health policy. We're ready to go, tickets are sold, bands are booked, the venue is looking fantastic, we’re ready to get down there.”
