Sol Blume organizers officially announced 2024 festival is postponed
(FOX40.COM) — Sol Blume is not happening in 2024 due to “significant damage” and “growing safety concerns” at Discovery Park, organizers announced on the festival’s website Friday.
The announcement comes weeks after ticket holders were questioning online if the festival was still happening.
Sol Blume will return to Sacramento on Aug. 15-17, 2025, according to organizers.
Organizers said damage from rain storms endured by Sacramento “created conditions” at Discovery park that made it unsafe to build on.
The 2024 festival was scheduled to take place on May 3-5 and was set to expand to three days for the first time in the event’s history.
Lineup announced for 2024 Concerts in the Park
R&B star SZA, Snoh Aalegra, and Kayatramine were set to perform at the 2024 edition as headliners.
Other artists slated to come to Sacramento were Wale, Masego, Sir, PartyNextDoor, Ari Lennox, Doechii, and PinkPanthress.
Friday’s announcement marks the second consecutive year the festival has been pushed back. The 2023 festival was postponed from April to August due to flooding at Discovery park following severe storms in January 2023.
The festival’s move to August will become permanent to avoid any “weather related conflicts in the future,” organizers said.

Although a late summer festival is not what we originally envisioned, if there is one thing we learned from 2023, it is that Sol Blume possesses its own magic, irrespective of time and place, so long as we’re amongst each other. Your spirit, energy and presence are what makes Sol Blume truly magic and we are committed to strengthening the brand we’ve cultivated together.”
Although we’ve had to make this difficult decision, we’re doing our very best to do right by each and every member of our community. We thank you for your understanding, love and unwavering support and we look forward to bluming with you again soon.
