Pharrell’s Something In The Water festival has been canceled due to severe weather conditions in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The organizers made the announcement on the festival’s social media page, Sunday. They explained that the decision was made on the advice of local authorities.
“We are disappointed to share that under the advisement of the city of Virginia Beach and the local authorities, we have to cancel day three of Something In The Water due to significant impacts to the festival site caused by severe weather, as well as the current and forecasted storms approaching and a tornado warning,” the statement reads.

Further in the message, they explained that they will be offering partial refunds to attendees. The message continues: “We did not make this decision easily, but everyone’s safety is our top priority. We will be refunding 33% of the base price from admission passes. Refunds will be automatically processed beginning tomorrow and take approximately 14 days.”
Pharrell later personally elaborated in the comments section of the post: “Dearest Virginia, We are the best. These past few days have been the best. Even during this Tornado Watch and Lightning Storm right now, as I type, we are the best. Thank you for giving the folks that travel here that energy and that LOVE that only we can give. Thank you to our partners, the vendors, production, policemen, firemen, the city council, the mayor, and all who volunteered. The spirit here was felt everywhere!”
The legendary producer also confirmed that they’ll be pushing the dates in future years to avoid April showers. “Next year, we will shift the dates because this rain ain’t playing, but we will be! Next year, more acts, more merch, more food… just more! Continued blessings and favor to you all,” he concluded. Had it not been canceled, Sunday would’ve featured performances from Lil Uzi Vert, Clipse, as well as Wu-Tang Clan, Lil Durk, and more.
