Detrour Was Just Kidding

All the debates and whining can stop now. Detour has checked everyone’s schedule and has moved the Rock City Festival to the summer.

The message below is from Anthony Morrow of Detour.

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.
