Here is the Full Statement as posted on the Web Vomit Web Site at 1:11 A.M.

After witnessing undue pressure put on bands, venues, sponsors, and the fans, Detour has decided to postpone Rock City until summer 2008. The festival will still feature the best in local Detroit talent along with a slew of the national acts we love.

We’re not in the business of warring festivals. We attempted to broker a deal where both events could coexist, but this didn’t work out. Detour will not be a part of any event that divides artists and their fans. We want people to play and attend our events and read our site out of passion, or simply for fun, and not because they feel like they have to take a side.

Thank you to the bands that agreed to take the journey and stand up with us. We’re saving a slot for you next summer.

And remember, if you’re planning a festival in the coming months, let us know so we can book something on the very same day.

Detour
