Takedown Festival 2024 Postponed Until 2025

---

The organisers of Takedown Festival have announced that the festival will no longer be taking place in 2024. The festival was due to take place on 13th and 14th of April at Portsmouth Guildhall.

The news comes as building work – set to transform the basement of the venue into one of the most innovative creative spaces for young people in the country – has now been extended across the planned dates for the festival.

Set to be headlined by Creeper and Dinosaur Pile-up, the festival was set to include a whole host of artists including Kid Kapichi, Trophy Eyes, Mimi Barks, and many more. The festival is set to return in 2025 with, it is hoped, much of this year’s line-up carried forward. The organisers have confirmed that further details will be announced soon.

Ticket holders for the 2024 festival will be refunded by their point of purchase.

Takedown Festival Directors, Kai and Sarah Harris said, “We know a lot of people are finding things tough at the moment and while we have extended our early bird price initiatives and offered split payment options, as one of the first festivals of the season, we have found this year to be particularly challenging.”

Adding “This combined with the impact of the extended building works has forced us to consider all options and postponement is the only viable option for this year. Takedown Festival has a really loyal following, and we are determined to use the additional lead-time to hit back next year and deliver the event the fans deserve!”
