Evolutions Festival Postpones 2025 Edition Due to Lack of Permits

Evolutions Festival will not take place this year as planned. The organizers have stated that the venue failed to obtain the necessary permits for the event to take place.

The past few months have seen hype from bass music lovers in the Northeast and beyond continue to build for Evolutions Festival. This year’s edition was set to take place at the Sugar Mountain Performing Arts Center in upstate New York on September 5-7. However, with less than two weeks to go until the festival’s kick-off date, it has unfortunately been postponed.

In a statement posted to their website and social media channels, Evolutions Festival organizers expressed their dismay with the situation. They cite the venue’s failure to secure the necessary permits for the festival as the reason this year’s edition did not proceed as anticipated.

We understand the excitement and anticipation surrounding this event, and this news comes as a disappointment to us as well. The entire organizing team has been working tirelessly to bring you a memorable experience year after year, and it is incredibly disheartening to face this setback.
