Sonic Bloom’s Decision To Postpone: Details and Official Statement Here

As of March 29th, the state of Colorado announced its plan for all residents to gain access to the Corona-19 vaccine. Even before that, many venues and promotion companies have found avenues to host live music in safe and profitable ways. Party Guru Productions, for example, brought a novel, “vertical concert experience” to Denver by means of indoor atrium style balconies at a Double Tree hotel. Festivals are beginning to make their comeback. We at SV Media are even hosting an event on April 15th at Lakewood’s Roller City [info for that event here]! For the most part, people are getting that feeling that music is back. All of these reasons make the news from Sonic Bloom this week pretty tough to receive. The team announced via their extensive newsletter, that their 2021 event which has been in question, will indeed be pushed back to 2022.

Here’s what their message said:

“SONIC BLOOM Family,

We have been watching, waiting and hoping for the conditions of the ongoing pandemic to improve to the point where it would be safe to hold our festival, since this all began. We need to be certain that we can hold a safe event and we need that confidence many months in advance to properly produce a festival. Unfortunately, we still do not have that certainty...

That being said, the very difficult decision has been made to continue to be patient and wait until the Summer Solstice of 2022 to safely hold and give you the full SONIC BLOOM festival experience. All tickets purchased for the 2020 or 2021 festival dates are all still automatically valid for the new 2022 festival dates of June 16-19, 2022 and the music lineup will remain much the same as it was when originally booked for 2020 with Tipper still confirmed to perform next summer along with the majority of the original lineup. The complete lineup will be announced later this year.

We considered many possibilities, including trying to move the festival to later in 2021, however, with conditions continuously changing, it's not fair to our artists, staff and patrons, (many of whom have to travel from far away, even internationally), to ask anyone to travel to Colorado from across the country and the globe, before we know it is absolutely safe for everyone to do so. We are also holding-off until 2022 because we want to be able to share in a complete festival experience, one we have come to know, love and expect, with multiple days of basking in the Colorado sunshine, complete with tree-net and hammock cuddle-puddles, partner yoga classes, dynamic dance-floors and without having to enforce social distancing rules or impose restrictions to individual freedoms.

To help keep us in the festival mindset and help spread the festival community’s knowledge and culture, Streaming Bloom has expanded to include a full online virtual SONIC BLOOM Academy. Ticket holders can use the email address you used to purchase your tickets and to create your SONIC BLOOM Academy account and see the webinar schedule, here: SONIC BLOOM Academy

Only accessible to current ticket-holders and future 2022 ticket buyers, the SONIC BLOOM Academy is complete with a video archive of music, festival workshops, performances and artist interviews from SONIC BLOOM’s past festivals, stretching all the way back to the first festival in 2006. The Streaming Bloom live portion of the SONIC BLOOM Academy includes a curated series of festival workshop content from presenters of past SONIC BLOOMs as well as a series of weekly live webinars. Participation in this virtual series is a great way to learn from and connect with the festival community from the comfort of home. (Zoom links will be sent to you after you create your account). 

Please head to our website for more details about the 2022 festival, ticketing options, the SONIC BLOOM Academy Online and more.

Thank you all for your love and support. 
We look forward to our return to the Unified Field...together.

~ Team SONIC BLOOM”
