Something In The Water Festival Postponed To Spring 2025
Pharrell Williams has recently made the difficult decision to postpone the Something In The Water Festival. He moved it from October 2024 to April 2025.
This announcement came just hours after tickets for the event went on sale to Virginia residents. Anyway, it has left many fans both surprised and disappointed.
On September 13. Pharrell took to social media to share the news with festival-goers, explaining that the Something In The Water Festival simply…
“wasn’t ready yet”.

While ticket sales had just begun. All current purchases will be refunded. And those who bought tickets will have first access to purchase passes once the new dates are confirmed.
This postponement marks yet another challenge for the festival, which has faced numerous hurdles since its debut in 2019. The festival’s 2020 and 2021 editions were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2022, it was moved from its original home in Virginia Beach to Washington, D.C., due to Pharrell’s dissatisfaction with the city’s response to the tragic shooting of his cousin by Virginia Beach police.
Last year, the festival made its return to Virginia Beach. But bad weather forced the cancellation of the third day, frustrating many attendees who had anticipated a full weekend of music and entertainment.
Despite these setbacks. Pharrell remains committed to making the water festival a truly unforgettable experience.
He assured fans that the wait would be worth it. And also, he promised a grand and memorable event come 2025.

Known for its diverse lineup of artists. The festival offers a blend of hip-hop, R&B, pop, and alternative music. Hence, it creates an inclusive atmosphere that celebrates unity, art, and innovation.
Fans eagerly await its return, as the event has consistently showcased both mainstream and rising talent, while also providing a platform for local artists and entrepreneurs.
Nevertheless, while the delay may have come as a disappointment to many. The festival remains a highly anticipated event.
Pharrell’s decision to postpone it underscores his commitment to excellence. And fans can expect an even bigger and better festival in the spring of 2025.
