“It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce that Kadetten 2024 has been cancelled”, says the festival’s Instagram-side and reproduced by YLTV.
“It’s incredibly sad, we were convinced when we relaunched the festival this year that the situation and the market had turned around – it didn’t turn out that way. The combination of significantly higher prices for all artists in the genre, uncertain and canceled tour plans, higher costs and less purchasing power among our audience means that we do not see it as possible to carry out the festival this year”, says the reason for the cancellation.
According to the Instagram post, purchased tickets will be automatically refunded.
The cadet festival was also canceled in 2023. Also then, the costs to artists were given as a reason, Budstikka reported then.
According to Live Nations Homepage should Arif, 21 Savage, Kamelen and the recently deceased Dutty Dior play there this summer.
