The Splendour in the Grass festival will not return in 2025, organisers have announced.
In a post to Facebook, organisers said they needed “a little more time to recharge” and would come back “bigger and better” when the time is right.
“The rest of the festival team have still been busy cooking up some awesome new things for music lovers in Australia, but Splendour needs a little more time to recharge and we won’t be back this year,” organisers said in a post.
“Think of it as a breather so we can come back even bigger and better when the time is right. Lots of other huge events on the horizon so keep an ear to the ground in the coming months – we can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on!”
Last year, Splendour was cancelled due to “unexpected events”, organisers said at the time. Last year’s announcement came just seven days after tickets went on sale, with Kylie Minogue, G-Flip, Future and Arcade Fire leading the lineup.
The festival had been held annually since 2001, and in the North Byron parklands in Yelgun, New South Wales, since 2013. In previous years it has attracted 50,000 festivalgoers, with headliners including Coldplay, Lana Del Rey and Childish Gambino.
