Sunset Music Festival Will Not Return in 2024 Amid Company Rebrand

This is not a sad goodbye, but a giddy “see you later” as Sunset Music Festival plans to rebrand and relocate the festival.

Since its inception in 2006, Sunset Music Festival has maintained a powerhouse event title for its one-of-a-kind immersive experience. World-class artists like Chris Lake, Pretty Lights, Hardwell, Skrillex, and Above & Beyond have played at the Tampa-based festival.

Sunset Events communicates with Sunsetter festivalgoers an update for the 2024 festival season. The events company starts the announcement by briefly reminiscing about the time spent at Raymond James Stadium, then continues to describe that the famous Sunset Music Festival will be experiencing “a rebranding journey”.

While the news arrived as a shock for most fans, it became unexpecting to see SMF part ways with Raymond James Stadium after eleven years of being the festival’s primary home. While Sunset Events previously hoped to unveil the new location for the 2024 year, it became clear that more time is needed to ensure the quality of Sunset Music Festival remains intact.

Fans leave their respects, questions, and tears below the surprising Instagram announcement. Some question whether or not SMF will move outside of Tampa, Florida. supporters of the announcement such as @suciobeats and @nicolasvans predict the new location will be between Orlando, Boca Raton, or Jacksonville.

Others understand that the news is only a temporary fix. This is not a goodbye, but rather a see you later! Die-hard Sunset Music Festival fans like @danifoxx share “Wow… after like over 10 years this will be the first year without SMF in May… I HOPE it stays in Tampa. Sad”.

Sunset Events places its high standards and values in front of risking the festival’s integrity. Despite the odds, the event production company confidently chooses to ensure Sunset Music Festival’s grand return will exceed all expectations.

Yoooo, the homies call me Marz. I am a multidimensional Piscean Latina fairy from Miami-Dade County (no, not Florida). Electronic music has allowed me to appreciate the profound beauty that can be found in finding peace within the chaos. Artists such as Rezz, Skrillex, John Summit, Michael Bibi, and Amtrac blend the two seamlessly, creating a harmonious balance that resonates with me whenever I am on the dancefloor. When I am writing about electronic music, I feel this same balance of peace and chaos moving through me – starting in my hips, filling my heart, and radiating out from my soul.
The power of music has brought me to this exact moment, and I only desire that you feel the warmth of the sun through my words.
