Sol Blume Reschedules To August 2025, Cites Weather Damage

Sol Blume, which was initially scheduled to take place at Discovery Park in Sacramento, California, on May 3-5, has rescheduled its dates to Aug. 15-17, 2025, citing damage to the festival site due to flooding. Along with the announcement, the festival states it plans to permanently transition seasons and take place in the late summer from this year onwards.

“For the second year in a row, Sol Blume has faced challenges that require us to make a significant change to the festival as we know it,” organizers shared in a statement to social media. “Mother nature has once again caused commotion and created conditions at the festival site that render it unsafe to build on. Although the park is no longer flooded, the damage remains. Due to significant site damage and growing safety concerns, we will not be able to host this year’s festival. Unlike last year, the path to hold a successful reschedule in the same year is not as clear despite our best efforts.”

Ticketholders will be able to hold onto their passes for an upgrade in 2025, while those requesting refunds will be accommodated. GA ticket holders will be upgraded to GA+, GA+ passes will be upgraded to VIP and VIP ticket holders will be upgraded to Returnable VIP, who will receive a $100 voucher that can be applied to merchandise, food or vendors.

This year’s lineup was expected to feature Snow Allegra, Kaytramine, SZA, Omar Apollo, Pinkpantheress, Partynextdoor, Ari Lennox, Doechii and more.

Last year, the festival also postponed from April to August due to weather damage at the festival site. Ahead of the cancelation, Liz Bellas, director of Sacramento County Regional Parks, expressed her concerns for the park to hold a festival of Sol Blume’s scale in a letter to its organizers, according to CBS news.

“While my staff has been diligently working to clean the park for general use, it is not yet capable of hosting a large festival with heavy infrastructure in earl yMay,” she said in her letter. “As previously stated, this event is crucial for the Sacramento region, and my team is ready to help reschedule the festival to a mutually agreeable date.”
