Organizers Postpone Something In The Water Festival Due To Coronavirus

Pharrell Williams‘ Something In The Water festival has been postponed due to the coronavirus COVID-19 worldwide pandemic. The event plans to return April 23 – 25, 2021.

Something In The Water was originally scheduled to take place April 24 – 26 at the 5th Street Beach Stage in Williams’ hometown of Virginia Beach. Foo Fighters, Beck, Brittany Howard, Chance The Rapper and Leon Bridges were among the acts slated to join Pharrell in performing at the event.

Here’s a statement from the event’s organizers:

After much consideration, in partnership with the City of Virginia Beach, we’ve sadly decided to postpone SOMETHING IN THE WATER 2020.

We will return April 23-25, 2021 as part of our normal annual schedule. All tickets for 2020 will be honored for next year’s festival. Original purchasers must obtain a refund by submitting a request on this website after March 20, 2020. All refund requests must be submitted through this website and no refunds will be processed by contacting Front Gate Tickets via phone or email.

Please use this time to keep building, creating, and progressing. The SITW team certainly will. There are a number of timely community-centric displays of goodwill that we are working hard to ensure still happen this April – things like the planting of a new school garden, public art, SITW Restaurant Week and more.
