Pharrell Williams has announced the postponement of the Something in the Water music festival in Virginia Beach from its planned October dates to April 2025, citing that the festival 'just isn’t ready yet' and emphasizing the need for it to match the high standards Virginia deserves. The announcement was made just hours after tickets went on sale, leaving many fans surprised and disappointed, some of whom had waited in line overnight. Ticket holders will receive automatic refunds, while those who paid cash can retrieve their money at the box office. The festival has faced numerous challenges, including cancellations due to the pandemic and severe weather disruptions in previous years. Despite setbacks, Williams remains optimistic about delivering an 'epic' experience for the 2025 event and expressed gratitude for the support from the city and sponsors. Virginia Beach officials noted the significant economic impact of the festival, which generated millions for the state and city in previous years.
