ROTHBURY, Mich. (WOOD) - Officials announced Friday there will not be a Rothbury Festival in 2010, citing the inability to book the quality of acts they desired.
In a posting on the Rothbury web site , organizers said, "For 2010, we have had to make the tough decision to postpone our efforts. A contributing factor in our decision is that, due to various artists’ recording and touring schedules, we now believe that timing will not allow for us to assemble the cutting edge roster that everyone has come to expect from ROTHBURY. The result for this year is that we are not able to move forward with the integrity and high standards that we demand from ourselves and for the festival."
They vow, however, to move forward with Rothbury in 2011. "Our efforts are certainly not coming to an end," they wrote.
24 Hour News 8 will continue to follow the developments.
