Pharrell Postpones Something in the Water Festival to 2025: ‘It Just Isn’t Ready Yet’

There’s nothing in the water this year. Pharrell has announced that his Something in the Water festival in Virginia Beach will no longer be taking place in October and has been postponed to April 2025.

While pre-sale tickets still went on sale on Friday (Sept. 13) and the festival’s lineup was set to be revealed — the latter never happened — Pharrell stepped in to pen a letter to fans revealing that Something in the Water had been delayed once again until April 2025 because “it just isn’t ready yet.”

“Dearest Virginia, I love you with all my heart,” he began. “Nobody loves you more than I do. Virginia doesn’t deserve better, Virginia deserves THE BEST. So SOMETHING IN THE WATER has to match that. It just isn’t ready yet. That’s why we as a team have decided that we must postpone this year’s SOMETHING IN THE WATER festival that was due to take place in October.”

P continued: “This is not a Pharrell festival, this is the state of Virginia’s festival so it has to be the best. Virginia made me, and I want to honor it with as much love as it’s shown me my entire life. And you know me, everywhere I go it’s VA.”

Fans who paid for tickets already by debit/credit card will be refunded through their point of purchase. Those who waited on line to purchase tickets in-person can receive a refund at the Veterans United Home Loan Amphitheater ticket office. Those who bought tickets will have first access when the new dates are announced for next year.

Pharrell added: “I am so grateful to our amazing sponsors and the city for their continued support and trust in us to get this right, and that time is April 2025.”

Something in the Water was originally slated for April 2024 before being pushed to October, which will now take place when we turn the calendar to 2025.

April 2023’s SITW festival was a three-day soiree in Virginia Beach, Va. and saw headlining performances from Kid Cudi, Lil Wayne, The Clipse, Summer Walker, Grace Jones, Lil Uzi Vert, Kehlani and more.
