Pharrell Williams Unexpectedly Cancels His “Something In The Water” Festival

Super-music producer Pharrell Williams is trending on social media after news broke that his annual “Something In The Water” Festival was canceled. The cancellation caused an uproar among fans as his team abruptly made the announcement just a few hours after locals-only tickets went on sale in Virginia Beach on Friday September 14th.

Pharrell Williams released the following statement announcing the cancellation:

Dearest Virginia,

I love you with all my heart. Nobody loves you more than I do.Virginia doesn’t deserve better, Virginia deserves  HE BEST. So SOMETHING IN THE WATER has to match that. It just isn’t ready yet. That’s why we as a team have decided we must postpone this year’s SOMETHING IN THE WATER festival that was due to take place in October.

This is not a Pharrell festival, this is the state of Virginia’s festival so it has to be the best. Virginia made me, and I want to honor it with as much love as it’s shown me my entire life. And you know me, everywhere I go it’s VA. If you already bought festival passes, thank you. Any passes purchased with a debit or credit card will automatically be refunded. For any cash purchases, fans can obtain their refund at the Veterans United Home Loan Amphitheater box office.

Fans who bought passes for this year’s event will have first access to purchase once the new dates are announced.

I am so grateful to our amazing sponsors and the city for their continued support and trust in us to get this right, and that time is April 2025.

This has to be EPIC, and trust me, after this long wait, it will be.

Thank you for your support, love and understanding.

Until April.

Love, Pharrell Williams
