SACRAMENTO, CA (CelebrityAccess) — Sol Blume, one of the West Coast’s largest R&B festivals, has been postponed due to the impacts of heavy rains and flooding on Sacramento’s Discovery Park.
The festival, which was set for the first week of May 2024, will now take place from August 15th – 17th, 2025, according to event organizers.
“For the second year in a row, Sol Blume has faced challenges that require us to make a significant change to the festival as we know it. Mother nature has once again caused commotion and created conditions at the festival site that render it unsafe to build on. Although the park is no longer flooded, the damage remains. Due to significant site damage and growing safety concerns, we will not be able to host this year’s festival. Unlike last year, the path to hold a successful reschedule in the same year is not as clear despite our best efforts,” organizers said, announcing the decision to reschedule.
“Sol Blume is permanently transitioning seasons to rid us of any weather-related conflicts in the future. Although a late summer festival is not what we originally envisioned, if there is one thing we learned from 2023, it is that Sol Blume possesses its own magic, irrespective of time and place, so long as we’re amongst each other. Your spirit, energy, and presence are what makes Sol Blume truly magic and we are committed to strengthening the brand we’ve cultivated together,” the statement continued.
The three-day event features a lineup with headliners SZA, Snoh Aalegra, as well as Kaytranada and Amine who perform as the duo Kaytramine.
Other artists announced for 2024 included Wale, PinkPantheress PARTYNEXTDOOR, Masego, SiR, Nate Curry, Omar Apollo, Ari Lennox and more.
Tickets for the postponed festival can be rolled over for 2025 and fans who hold on to their passes for next year will be automatically upgraded to the next higher tier ticket. Fans can also request refunds until May 17th.
