Guys, Highest Point has been cancelled for 2025 and we’re all devastated
‘It’s not feasible to continue losing money year after year without reassessing our approach’
Event organisers have said that Highest Point Festival will not be taking place in 2025.
In a recent statement, they said that whilst it is “not the end” of the event, rising costs and artists fees have prevented this year’s festival.
Last year’s line up included Busted, Tom Odell, and Sam Ryder.
In the full statement, the organisers explained that a small team from the local community run the event every year, and unlike larger music festivals, they “do not have the backing of major booking power or receive funding based on self-reported figures.”
They explained that it is a decision that they have come to after a fantastic few years, and that “each year, we’ve worked hard to deliver the best possible experience within our budget.”
They added: “Our income relies solely on ticket sales and bar revenues, which, given the current climate, simply isn’t enough to break even. This isn’t the end for us; 2025 will just be a pause for the festival, and we look forward to what the future may hold.’’
