In agreement with the issue templates of notability and self-published sources, files this one under WP:TOOSOON. Maybe next year if it becomes an annual event. (And please, don't think lineup appearances equal notability because it does not.) I do think it could stand to be merged with Pharrell Williams though.

Soft delete - WP:TOOSOON - only one season - three of the references are to the festival's website and one was a press release, so no significant coverage - does not meet WP:EVENT at this point, but may gain notability in the future and be eligible for refund - Epinoia (talk) 02:43, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Agree with the above. "Hard" deletion should be preferred as most of the text in the article was either sourced from PR material or copyright-infringing (see article history), so we're not actually losing anything by deleting it (eg. editors' time and effort), while providing a future editor a clean slate to write on that's free of copy-vio and PR cruft.
