Hammersonic Festival 2023 is slated to take place on March 18 and 19. The 2023 edition follows a series of postponements due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, the festival – which was scheduled for end-March 2020 – was pushed to January 2021 amid growing public health concerns, before being postponed once more to end-March 2022, with Slipknot as the only act secured for the festival.

In March 2022, the festival was again postponed to March 18, 2023, following a surge of infections with the Omnicron variant of COVID-19 in Indonesia. The festival’s organisers have assured ticket holders of the original 2020 dates that their tickets will be honoured in its 2023 edition, and offered to give away free merchandise – including t-shirts, hoodies and trucker caps – should they continue to hold on to their purchases by the time the festival takes place.

Hammersonic Festival 2023 is one of a number of major upcoming music festivals taking place in Indonesia this year. Other festivals already announced for this year include Java Jazz this June, We The Fest this July, and September’s Pestapora.
