The Detroit spinoff of Australia's popular St. Jerome's Laneway Festival has been forced to cancel this year due to timing and lineup issues.
A statement from promoter Danny Rogers was posted to the festival's facebook page outlining the reasons in full.
"We’ve decided to postpone Laneway Festival Detroit this year due to timing," the statement reads. "A big thanks to all of you for your support and interest in the event. We had an amazing time last year and hope to return in 2015!"
"We tried to get the very few acts that we felt would be appropriate for Laneway and none of them were available. We had one that went all the way to the wire and then changed its mind at the very last minute – bless their beautiful heart too, they were under so much pressure to be everywhere and anywhere and something had to give. We decided that we needed to be honest with ourselves and sit it out this year and review it again next year."
The inaugural Laneway Detroit last year boasted the likes of The National and Chvrches alongside Aussie big-hitters Flume and Chet Faker.
