There will be no One Musicfest this year, organizers announcedFriday afternoon.

“This is not an ending,” organizers said in a news release sent to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “It’s an opportunity to build the next chapter of One Musicfest with the same bold vision that has guided us since day one.”

One Musicfest, created by J. Carter in 2010, typically occurs in late October in Piedmont Park. Last year, Ludacris, Future and Doechii were among the headliners.

The festival didn’t specify what prompted the hiatus. In June, One Musicfest teased in a social media post that more information about this year’s event would be shared soon. Earlier this month, organizers helped produce a free Ludacris concert at Piedmont Park for the FIFA World Cup, under the One Musicfest banner.

“This pause gives us the runway to finally execute the full game plan: new partnerships, bolder creative experiences, and a deeper convergence of music, culture, technology, and community,” the Friday statement read.

The One Musicfest team shared that the event will return next year. The annual two-day festival attracts more than 100,000 fans.
