“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!”
The statement comes after organisers made the call to cancel the festival last year due to “unexpected events.”
A source later claimed the festival’s sudden cancellation was due to abysmal ticket sales and high costs.
Artists including Kylie Minogue, G Flip, Hayden James and Future were some of the headline acts in the extensive 2024 lineup.
