After a week of speculation, Wonderfruit festival has finally announced its official postponement. 

The event uploaded a post to its website this morning confirming that the four-day festival of art, music and food will now take place from Feb 16-19, 2017. The festival was originally scheduled for Dec 15-18.

"In light of the passing of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, we have announced the postponement of Wonderfruit to 16-19 February 2017," read the statement.

"Taking into account the national sentiment here in Thailand and the guidelines set by the government, we are observing the 100-day grieving period, so that we can pay our proper respects."

Despite the two-month delay, organizers are promising only slight changes to the lineup. 

"Most of our programming remains intact and we are working hard behind the scenes to update you as soon as possible with any changes and additions," they said. Real-time updates on lineup changes will be added to the post.

According to the statement, your tickets and accomodation bookings are valid for the new dates. Refunds will be available from Nov 1-30 for those who can't make it, though no details on how to apply have yet been released. 

Now in its third year, Wonderfruit has established itself as Thailand's top music festival. Among the 29 names previously confirmed for 2016 are English drum 'n' bass group Rudimental; American house and funk DJ duo Wolf + Lamb; Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood's JUNUN project; Mercury Prize-winning hip-hop group Young Fathers; and Kate Simko & the London Electronic Orchestra.

Local names on the lineup included rock band Srirajah Rockers and emerging molam singer Rasmee Isan Soul.

Away from the music, there promises to be talks and workshops from Muay Thai kickboxer Buakaw and sustainable community project Trash Hero; art from Taste of Wonder, puppeteer Nang Sakon Talung Dharma and Wonder Salon. 

The location, at Siam Country Club outside Pattaya, remains the same.
