"Dear Nozstockers,

We are devastated that we find ourselves in this position once again but unfortunately we must announce the 22nd edition of Nozstock The Hidden Valley will be postponed and will now take place between the 21st and 24th July 2022.

Words can’t even begin to explain how we feel about having to postpone again. We’ve been working tirelessly to figure out ways that we can deliver a safe and secure event this July, which lives up to the expectations we've set for our really special and intimate festival.

Ultimately, despite calls from the industry, COVID cancellation insurance has not yet been implemented and we have run out of time - economically, we cannot keep pushing on without this in place, especially with production costs rising every day and recent reports of increased cases and a possible delay to the roadmap. If we were to go ahead, the financial risk could affect Nozstock's future beyond this year.

This coupled with recent supplier issues has created obstacles which we find insurmountable. We are no longer confident we could deliver the quality of event you’ve come to expect. So for now, our time is up for 2021.

Believe us, it has been the hardest decision to make, which we have agonised over. A massive thank you to each and every one of you for your ongoing support and understanding - Nozstock would not be here without you.

We will be working hard over the coming weeks to rollover as much of our amazing line up as possible with ANDY C, Bill Bailey, Gentleman's Dub Club, Submotion Orchestra, Calyx & TeeBee, Break and Utah Saints already confirmed.

The support that we had from you loyal Nozstockers combined with selling out so quickly gave us such hope for this year which makes this postponement even harder.

We know it’s a big ask but if you can rollover your ticket to 2022 it will help to support us and allow us to keep doing what we do best. We do understand that won’t be possible for everyone.

Our waiting list will also rollover to 2022, and people on this list will be offered tickets as part of our resale before they go out to everyone, so do bear in mind that any refunded tickets could be snapped up quickly.

Your ticket will automatically be rolled over to 2022, but if you do want to apply for a refund, just log in to your TicketSellers account by 26th July 2021, and follow the instructions. Please be patient whilst TicketSellers help you all through this.

In the meantime, we do have some positive news. We are committed to bringing some form of Nozstock to your lives (and ours) this summer in the form of smaller, one day events which can be socially distanced if guidance requires.

More details about these events will be released in the coming weeks. Sign up for priority access to these at https://bit.ly/nozevents2021

Thank you everyone. We will be in the fields again and it will make it so much sweeter when we can come together at last.

Big love ,

Noz HQ
