Overview
- The 2025 edition of Splendour in the Grass, one of Australia's largest music festivals, has been cancelled, marking the second consecutive year without the event.
- Organisers announced the decision via social media, stating the festival needs 'a little more time to recharge' and will return 'when the time is right.'
- The festival has faced significant challenges in recent years, including flooding in 2022 and reduced ticket sales in 2023, with sales reportedly down by 30%.
- Last year’s cancellation came after tickets were released and a lineup featuring Kylie Minogue and Arcade Fire was announced, but this year no tickets were sold prior to the announcement.
- Fans have expressed concern that the festival may not return, as other Australian music festivals have struggled due to financial pressures and declining attendance.
