Souled Out music festival in Melbourne cancelled due to financial issues

The Souled Out music festival, scheduled for February 22 in Melbourne, has been cancelled due to insufficient financial support. This follows a successful 2024 event, but organizers stated they could not sustain the festival for 2025. The festival was set to feature popular American artists like Jhené Aiko and Don Toliver. Despite early-bird ticket sales for future events, no dates or venues were confirmed. This cancellation adds to challenges in the Australian festival market, with other major events also being called off. Organizers will refund ticket buyers within 14 days.
