The Nowhere Festival Sydney 2025 Postponed

It is with deep regret that we announce the postponement of The Nowhere Festival Sydney 2025. Despite the best efforts of our dedicated team over the past 12 months, we have had to make this difficult decision several weeks ahead of the planned festival date.

The support services required to deliver the festival are contingent on achieving certain ticket sales thresholds. Unfortunately, current sales have not reached the necessary levels at this time. While we recognise that ticket purchase trends increase closer to the event, the timing of this is uncertain, and it poses significant risks to the artists, attendees, and the overall festival experience.

Compounding this challenge, other major events scheduled for the same weekend—Dreamstate, Sail GP, and The Laneway Festival—are placing additional pressure on critical resources and services in Sydney. Support service providers require immediate confirmation of final numbers, which we are unable to provide with the current ticket sales figures.

Given the number of international artists involved and the complexities of delivering a festival of this scale, we believe it would be irresponsible to allow this situation to go down to the wire.

We want to acknowledge the incredible work of our team, the unwavering support of artists and their representatives, and the enthusiasm of our ticket holders. Your belief in our vision has meant everything to us, and we are deeply disappointed not to be able to bring the festival to life as planned.

Ticket holders who purchased through Ticketbooth.com.au will receive a full refund. The refund process will be initiated in the coming days, all ticket holders will be contacted directly. For further inquiries, please contact Jody Coker at essentialeventsmanagement@gmail.com.

While this is a heartbreaking outcome, we remain hopeful about the future and continue to explore opportunities to relaunch The Nowhere Festival at a later date.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
