A post shared by Splendour Festival (@splendourfest)Per BBC, the council said it was “optimistic” Splendour would return in future years.

George Akins, DHP’s managing director, said: “We have tried hard to make Splendour work in 2024 but the delays caused by the tendering process have meant this just hasn’t been possible.”“It has been a hugely frustrating time for us,” he added. “Splendour could have gone ahead had the council heeded our warnings about the time scales required.
