The festival has had a turbulent period leading up to its 25th anniversary. In late 2024, organizers announced that Solshine Reverie, which had replaced the traditional Summer Camp format that year, would not return. They had planned a three-day, non-camping event at Peoria Riverfront for Memorial Day Weekend 2025, but those plans were ultimately scrapped in March 2025. The last official Summer Camp Music Festival took place in 2023.
Organizers for Summer Camp Music Festival had previously confirmed that longtime hosts moe. and Umphrey’s McGee would not be performing at the 2026 festival.
