Why Hey Neighbour Festival Is Moving to December 2025

Hey Neighbour Festival 2025, initially set to take place this August, has been moved to December 2025. While the festival is set to feature world-class performances, the organisers have made the strategic decision to reschedule the festival in order to ensure its continued success and sustainability. These including the highly anticipated appearances by:

Doja Cat
Central Cee
Black Coffee
Leon Thomas

Hey Neighbour’s Glen Netshipise stated, “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. 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.”

He added “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.”
