In a statement shared by the festival on Friday, translated into English via music publication Stereogum, the organisers said that they were no longer "comfortable" having Murphy perform. The organisers wrote that they wanted the festival environment to be one where "everyone can feel safe and belong" and had added Murphy - despite her previous, contentious remarks about trans youth and puberty blockers - as they felt she had "the energy" to match their intentions.

"Unfortunately Future Ruins will not move forward this year. The reality is, due to a number of logistical challenges and complications, we feel we cannot provide the experience that's defined what this event was always intended to be. Rather than compromise, we're choosing to re-think and re-evaluate. Meanwhile, we are sorry for any inconvenience and appreciate all the interest and support. Refunds will be automatically issued and ticket holders will receive an email with more information."
