An announcement today of yet another festival not happening in the region. Ipswich’s Global Rhythm will not take place in 2025. A statement from the organisers reads:
Due to increased financial pressures on the events industry, the Global Rhythm organisers have made the tough decision to cancel this year’s event. This was an incredibly difficult decision with numerous funding opportunities and partnerships and options being explored, but unfortunately, despite best efforts, we were unable to achieve the financial support required to proceed.
Last year over 11,000 people attended and we enjoyed 3 amazing stages and a workshop tent in our 14th year. To each and every person who attended, and every artist who went on stage, all the crew and all the supporters we love you and we wish you a bright and beautiful summer. Please play a tune and dance in the park and think of us.Very best wishes, Global Rhythm.
