That’s why we as a team have decided that we must postpone this year’s SOMETHING IN THE WATER festival that was due to take place in October. I am so grateful to our amazing sponsors and the city for their continued support and trust in us to get this right, and that time is April 2025. This has to be EPIC, and trust me, after this long wait, it will be.” (Billboard)
