Splendour in the Grass Festival Cancelled for Second Consecutive Year

Organisers cite the need for more time to recharge, leaving fans uncertain about the festival's future.

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.
