Despite the cancellation of many other events around the twin towns, the team is taking it one day at a time.
“Like everyone, the Echuca-Moama Winter Blues Festival 2020 finds itself in unknown territory in regards to issues relating to the COVID-19 virus,” the event's Facebook post read.
“Whilst we do not know how this situation will run, we hope that by the end of July some normality may have returned to our world.
“Our final decision about the festival will be made with consideration of the health of artists, venues, patrons and workers and in line with government directives as they are issued.”
Another round of artists is set to be announced at a later date.
The festival is set to run from Thursday, July 23 until Sunday, July 26.
