After a successful debut in December 2023, HAYDAYS festival will not be returning for 2024. The festival, which took place at Cornelian Bay, Hobart, showcased an impressive lineup featuring acts like Foals, Pnau, Genesis Owusu, and The Jungle Giants. It quickly became a highlight of Tasmania's summer music calendar, drawing attendees from across the country.

In a statement from festival organisers Vibestown, they expressed gratitude to everyone who made the inaugural HAYDAYS a success but shared their decision to not move forward with the event this year. "Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for the debut of HAYDAYS in Dec 2023! After careful thought, we’ve decided to shift our full attention back to Party In The Paddock for this summer," the statement read.

Vibestown, who also operate the beloved Party In The Paddock festival, emphasized their commitment to making their flagship event "bigger and better than ever" in 2024. While fans may be disappointed by HAYDAYS' cancellation, they can look forward to an elevated experience at Party In The Paddock, which has built a loyal following for its stellar lineups and vibrant atmosphere.
