After the tragic murder of his cousin, Donovon Lynch, Pharell moved the festival to Washington, DC but as since announced that it will return to Virginia.

Vibe.com reported Mayor Dyer stated, “It is exciting to be so close to the return of Something In The Water in Virginia Beach. We sincerely appreciate Mr. Williams and his willingness to bring this marquee event back home!”

Council member Aaron Rouse added, “I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Pharrell since 2019, and it means so much to me to have this opportunity to work with such a great person to bring this event back to his home in the Commonwealth of Virginia and specifically the City of Virginia Beach.”
