LONDON (CelebrityAccess) – Organizers for the 2024 edition of London’s We Are FSTVL announced that the event has been canceled by city officials after the festival grounds were inundated by heavy rains.
The EDM festival was set to take place at the end of May with a lineup that included headliners such as Chase & Status and Eric Prydz, along with Marco Carola, Groove Armada, Dennis Ferrer, Pawsa, and more.
In a post detailing the cancellation, event organizers said:
We are devastated to announce that for reasons beyond our control, We Are FSTVL 2024 is unable to go ahead.
Last year, when we were looking for a new home, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham offered us the beautiful Central Park and we worked with them to create detailed plans for how the Festival would work this year and be better than ever before. We had invested time and money into the new site, new stages and brought in a new Creative Team to bring the weekend to life with immersive experiences and large art installations, alongside the already fantastic lineup, which we couldn’t wait to share with you.
Sadly, and just days before we were due to attend on-site to start the build, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham accepted that they could not deliver a safe event space that was fit for the purpose of allowing us to stage We Are FSTVL 2024.
In a press release, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham say that the difficult decision to cancel has been made for health and safety reasons after record levels of rainfall this year.
According to the post, organizers anticipate bringing the event back in 2025 and said that ticketholders would be offered full refunds for the 2024 edition of the event in short order.
