Dear Patrons,
I am writing to share some incredibly difficult and unexpected personal news regarding the planning for the Hiddenforest 2025 Edition.
As many of you know, on the 13th of March 2024 I was injured with a 9inch grinder kicking back into my elbow leaving me out of employment for a year and pushing Hiddenforest back to 2025, preparing this festival is a year-round labor of love.
I have been diligently working to make 2025 the best year yet, and the progress was exciting.
However, on August 24th, I was involved in a severe accident when I was hit by a B-double semi-truck, leaving me with 2 broken ankles, Legs, left Knee, left arm, left elbow & bowel and intensities surgery, further adding to the fire I lost my employment and where I was living in the process.
I am now focused entirely on my recovery, which is going to be extensive and require my full attention for the foreseeable future.
* What this means: While I am determined to bring our vision for Hiddenforest back to life, the reality of this recovery means that I must unfortunately postpone or cancel the 2025 festival edition, I will set the date forward until further notice, this accident has tipped my life around and I'm not sure where I'll be in the future.
I understand how disappointing this news is, and please know that this decision was made with a heavy heart. My priority right now must be my health, so that I can return stronger and eventually dedicate the energy and focus that this festival and all of you deserve, thank you for understanding.
Yours sincerely,
RORS
