Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival will not return in 2019. Producers of the annual multi-day music festival named after its home in Okeechobee, Florida announced on Thursday afternoon that will be taking a year off in 2019.

The announcement comes a few months after rumors began to spread online that the music festival would not return next year. Okeechobee Fest, as its often referred, was initially launched in 2016 by its parent company, Soundslinger LLC, and featured a 2018 lineup that included Arcade Fire, Bassnectar, Halsey, and Travis Scott when it returned for its third year back in early March.

“After much consideration and looking at many different options, we have decided to take a fallow year and not hold our annual Okeechobee Fest in 2019,” the statement shared by festival organizers on Thursday reads. “For the past three years, we have witnessed 100,000 strangers from all walks of life, come together to our home of Sunshine Grove in Okeechobee, Florida, to live, laugh, listen, sing, dance, learn, create, meditate, downward dog, eat & drink, explore, give back, embrace and live OMF’s mantra to Be, Here, Now.”

The announcement, which can be read in full via the statement below, also goes on to state that the producers are hoping for the event’s return to Sunshine Grove in March 2020. The announcement didn’t go on to reveal any specific reasoning for the 2019 cancellation, although the over-saturation of the North American festival circuit could be to blame.

Okeechobee’s programming has included an impressive mix of electronic, hip-hop and pop music since launching just two years ago. Other notable artists who have also performed at the event include Kings of Leon, Flume, Pretty Lights, Kendrick Lamar, The Roots, and The Flaming Lips, just name a few.
