Party In The Apocalypse organisers on Tuesday pushed back its Launceston event from early next month to December 27 and 28 to ensure an event in a COVID-impacted world.

Organiser Vibestown said much had changed since the festival at Invermay's Churchill Park was unveiled such as Tasmania's December 15 border opening date, G2G passes tightening restrictions on artists, and an expected update on event restriction guidelines.

Vibestown's statement also included a note on vaccinations following Premier Peter Gutwein's comments recently about dancing in venues and at events moving forward.

"Reading the play here, it's looking very much like patrons will now be required to be vaccinated to attend major events, including PITA," the statement said.

Vibestown artistic director Jesse Higgs said ideally by the time the festival started, he hoped dancing restrictions would be eased.

"I think people are entirely over camp chairs in mosh pits," he said.

Mr Higgs said he hoped to see other basic restrictions eased at events, and that if people attending had to be double vaccinated, masks seemed unnecessary.

Events Minister Sarah Courtney said it would be great to see some event restrictions eased, but she would not preempt what that would mean until further announcements were made.

"I understand that there will be more later in the week when the Premier gives his weekly update with the director of Public Health," she said.

Visit Northern Tasmania chief executive Chris Griffin said the industry was anticipating some event framework changes, but what those would be was unknown.

"Consistency [across all events, venues, and industries] should be the rule," he said.

Mr Griffin said if event framework changes were made, the community should not expect a "flush of events" in January, but could potentially see more events make a comeback in March.

Many events, including February's Festivale and agricultural shows, have been cancelled due to a lack of framework confidence and clarity.

The talks come after the announcement last week that Public Health was reviewing a relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions placed on summer events.

However, Mr Gutwein said the easing of restrictions would rely on higher vaccination rates, particularly in the Tasmanian youth population.

The Tasmanian government has provided support for a Greens bill before the Senate which has called for a federal government fund to be established to underwrite live events after the impacts of COVID-19.

PITA has paused ticket sales with the new date release, but they will be back on sale November 22 along with the announcement of new additions to the line-up.

For those who are unable to make the new dates for PITA, refunds will be available on Oztix from November 22.
