TAMPA, Fla. — The popular Sunset Music Festival will not happen this year nor will it take place at Raymond James Stadium anymore.
Instead, the annual electronic music festival is being rebranded and taking its acts to a new venue, which will be ready next year, organizers recently announced in a Facebook post.
"As we reminisce about your time at Raymond James Stadium, we wanted to update you on a new era for the Sunset Music Festival," the post reads. "Our rebranding journey, which includes a move to a fresh venue in 2024, has been full of excitement. While we had hoped to unveil the new venue this year, it's now clear it won't be ready until 2025.
"Rather than compromise on Sunset's quality, we've decided to take a year off to ensure our return exceeds expectations."
Sunset Musical Festival was Tampa's first major concert festival of the pandemic when it returned in 2021, the Tampa Bay Times reports. It reportedly drew tens of thousands of festival-goers and generated $16 million in spending.
The EDM event usually took place outside Raymond James Stadium during Memorial Day weekend in years past.
