The 2025 Soundside Music Festival in Bridgeport, Conn., has been canceled due to “circumstances beyond our control,” organizers announced Friday (July 25).
This year’s event was scheduled for Sept. 27–28 at Seaside Park, with headliners The Killers, Weezer, Hozier and Vampire Weekend.
“Due to circumstances beyond our control, Soundside Music Festival has been cancelled,” organizers wrote in a statement on the festival’s website. “Tickets will be refunded to the original method of payment in as little as 30 days depending on your bank’s processing time.”
In a statement to Billboard, organizers added, “We are deeply grateful to the City of Bridgeport, Mayor Ganim, our local partners, and all the fans for their support of the festival over the years. While we’re disappointed to have canceled this year’s show, we remain proud of the incredible musical moments we shared together in Seaside Park and the opportunity to call Bridgeport home.”
Soundside’s social media accounts had also been deleted as of press time. Further details about the cancellation were not provided.
The two-day festival was also set to feature acts such as Djo, Japanese Breakfast, The Backseat Lovers, Remi Wolf, Alex Warren and The Last Dinner Party.
Soundside Music Festival originally launched in 2022 as Sound on Sound before rebranding under its current name in 2024.
Last year’s event was set to be headlined by Foo Fighters, who dropped off the bill just two days before the event. The band’s withdrawal came two weeks after frontman Dave Grohl revealed on Instagram that he had fathered a child outside his marriage. The Foos were later replaced by Jack White and Greta Van Fleet.
