According to sources, thousands of guests and visitors have been welcomed to Littfest at Folkets hus in Umeå over the 20 years. The festival sells out tickets every year, but the festival does not want to grow. After handling the heavy anniversary year, the organizers are now considering tearing up and starting over anew.
Next year, something completely new could happen. Erik Jonsson, coordinator at Littfest, cannot say more than that. The specific changes or new initiatives being considered for Littfest next year have not been disclosed.

What exactly 'tearing up and starting over anew' entails for the festival's format or organization is also unknown.
