Sol Fest Announces Indefinite Hiatus After Three-Year Run

The organizers of Sol Fest, an electronic music and arts festival in North Florida, have announced an indefinite hiatus.

They announced the decision today in an emotional statement, reflecting on the challenges, triumphs and the spirit of the independent festival, which launched three years ago.

"The road hasn't been easy, but your support has been the driving force that kept us going," the statement reads. "We want to extend our deepest appreciation to the entire team, volunteers, friends, and family who helped us bring this to life."

Sol Fest, known for its bass-focused lineups and deep-rooted sense of community, faced significant hurdles throughout its tenure. Organizers cited unexpected challenges from the very beginning, including the sudden loss of the CEO of their original venue, which forced a last-minute relocation. They detailed extensive efforts to secure a new home for the festival, working with officials and even personally funding venue preparations.

Despite the indefinite hiatus, the festival's proprietors haven't pulled the plug entirely. "This isn’t goodbye, Sol Fam," they wrote. "For now, hold your loved ones close and keep the Sol Fest spirit alive!"

Last year's Sol Fest featured headlining performances by Rezz, CloZee, LSDREAM, Bob Moses, Dabin, Dr. Fresch, Elderbrook, G Jones, Lettuce and EDM.com Class of 2024 artist Of The Trees.
