Yahoo Lifestyle Sundown Festival will not return in 2025
A music festival that over the years featured the likes of Jess Glynne, Olly Murs and Chase & Status will not return next year, organisers have said.
The Sundown Festival was set to be held at the Norfolk Showground, near Norwich, on 29 August.
However, organisers said the event had been cancelled and refunds for purchased tickets would be "processed automatically".
A statement on the festival's website described the past 12 years as an "unforgettable journey".
"What started as humble beginnings grew into a five-stage camping festival, partnering with iconic music brands and artists, surviving a pandemic, and even taking Sundown to Malta," the statement read.
"We want to express our deepest gratitude… Most of all, a huge thank you to our fans — you've been the heartbeat of Sundown.
"Your energy, passion, and memories have made everything possible, and we'll never forget the moments we shared together."
The festival began in 2013 after its previous incarnation - Norfolk Spectacular - was renamed.
It went on to become one of the region's biggest festivals, attracting thousands of fans each year.
Organisers said numerous reasons had contributed to the decision which "affected our ability to deliver the high standards our fans have come to expect."
It said: "The rising costs of production, along with the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, have significantly impacted Sundown's future, as they have many other festivals in recent years."
