Hey Neighbour Festival 2025 Postponed to December
Hey Neighbour Festival Moves Back to December 2025
The highly anticipated Hey Neighbour Festival 2025, originally scheduled for this August, has officially been postponed to December 2025. The festival was set to host an impressive lineup of international and local artists, including Doja Cat, Central Cee, Black Coffee, and Leon Thomas. However, the organisers have made the strategic decision to reschedule in order to prioritise the festival’s long-term sustainability and deliver an exceptional experience for attendees.
“As CEO of Hey Neighbour Festival, I want to acknowledge the disappointment caused by the postponement of the 2025 event. We understand the impact this has on our loyal festival-goers, sponsors, and artists. We also recognise that our communication around the challenges we’ve faced hasn’t been as clear as it should have been, and for that, we sincerely apologise.
Hey Neighbour Festival CEO, Glen Netshipise, expressed his understanding of the disappointment caused by the postponement:
Moving forward, we are committed to improving our transparency and communication, ensuring that everyone is kept informed as we work towards delivering an even better festival in December 2025. We truly appreciate your continued support and patience as we navigate these challenging yet exciting times.”
“We are incredibly grateful for the support of our sponsors, artists, and attendees. Their faith in us is helping to ensure that we can deliver the best possible festival experience.”
He further added:
