Fireworks fans will have to wait on more day to get their GlobalFest fix.

Thursday’s display, by Brazil, has been pushed to Friday evening due to a poor weather forecast and sloppy conditions at Elliston Park.

Ticket holders will be granted access Friday, but no refunds will be offered.

Road closures planned for the Thursday show will also be moved to Friday.

The remainder of the schedule will go ahead as planned.
