For those that continue to support BeachLife — a special thanks — you are the reason we do what we do. This continues to be a difficult experience for our team to navigate through, and as something we’ve never experienced, we are moving cautiously to make sure we manage this situation and all stakeholders appropriately. We appreciate your patience and are going to be coming back even stronger in May 2025! As you’ll read below, WE CARE ABOUT OUR FANS — and we want to turn lemons into lemonade.

 

While we were incredibly disappointed that we could not continue with our show on Sunday due to the Fire Chief’s call to execute an emergency evacuation — we wholeheartedly agree with the decision to prioritize public safety and want you to know that there were no failed structures and no injuries as a result of our precautionary measures. As such, we’ve been working diligently with our advisors, the artists, and our moral compass & responsibility to our music fans develop a plan to compensate fans that came to see one of the several bands that didn’t get the opportunity to play. We appreciate that you spent your hard-earned money on our festival, and that some of you might not have received the full experience you paid for. As such, if you believe you are entitled to some sort of refund, BeachLife Festival will offer the following options for Sunday Single-Day ticket holders: 

 

(1) a Free Sunday single-day pass for May 2025 of the same ticket type; or,

(2) a Partial refund* of 75% of your ticket price if you enjoyed part of the day from 11-5pm; or,

(3) a Full refund* of your ticket if you believe you are entitled to one and/or had not arrived on-site before we evacuated

 

For 3-Day purchasers, we will offer the following options should you feel entitled to a refund of some kind:

 

(1) a Free Sunday single-day pass for May 2025 of the same ticket type; or,

(2) a Partial refund* of 25% of your ticket price if you enjoyed part of the day from 11-5pm; or,

(3) a Full 33.33% refund* of your ticket if you believe you are entitled to one and/or had not arrived on-site before we evacuated

We stand by our Community and feel strongly that our fans will agree BeachLife has done the right thing despite the cancellation not being in our control.
