Despite expressing optimism in April that this year's Imagine Music Festival would proceed as planned, event organizers have decided to cancel the September EDM gathering and reboot for 2021.

The 2020 edition would have marked its first year at Bouckaert Farm in Chattahoochee Hills. But even though fest creators Glenn and Maddy Goodhand were just weeks from announcing this year’s lineup, the continued surge of coronavirus cases prompted them to nix plans.

The Imagine Festival will now take place Sept. 17-19, 2021 at the same location. Those who purchased 2020 passes will have automatic admission for next year. All current ticketholders will also be upgraded to receive free entry into the pre-party show. Fans can also request refunds until July 20 (an email will be sent to ticketholders with more information).
