KEY POINTS:
It will be a disappointing New Year's Eve for fans of the Mercury Rising concert on the Coromandel Peninsula.
Higher than average rainfall in the region has made the paddock where the event was to have been held, too soggy and organisers have cancelled the popular event.
Katchafire, Che Fu, and the Phoenix Foundation were among the acts scheduled to play.
Last year, 6,000 people attended the event. Refunds are available.
