Something in the Water is postponed because it “just isn’t ready yet,” Pharrell wrote in a letter shared on Friday just before 4:30 p.m.
The letter, penned by Pharrell and posted to Something in the Water’s Instagram account, said the festival will now take place in April 2025—six months after it was initially supposed to happen in October.
Tickets for the two-day music festival went on sale for Virginia residents on Friday at 10 a.m. at the Veterans United Home Lone Amphitheater.
Pharrell’s letter says those who bought tickets with a card will be automatically refunded. Those who paid in cash can get refunded at the amphitheater’s box office.
