FOREVER Festival will not return in 2026

2025 was the year we first opened the gates to FOREVER Festival. Our ambition was to create a place where timeless music could bring together generations and genres – and what a journey it has been!

It has been a true joy to see FOREVER come to life and to feel the warm reception from both audiences and artists in our first year. At the same time, we must be realistic: the numbers show that the festival, in its current form, is not financially sustainable.

Even though we have received great recognition from both guests and musicians, ticket sales and overall revenue did not meet the expectations needed to ensure a continuation already in 2026.

We are deeply grateful for the support we have received – not least from Viborg Municipality, who have been flexible and supportive in the start-up phase, and from the many volunteers, partners, and all of you wonderful festivalgoers who made FOREVER 2025 possible.

FOREVER will therefore take a pause. We will use the experiences from our first year to reflect on how the idea of a festival focused on musical heritage and quality might find new life at a later stage.
