Monterey Music Postponed

A recent post from the Monterey Music Summit MySpace Page confirms long standing rumors that the fest has been postponed. The event was originally scheduled for this weekend (May 30 - June 1) and was set to feature Snoop Dogg, STS9, Slightly Stoopid, Ozomatli, Coheed & Cambria, Tea Leaf Green, New Monsoon and many more.

From myspace.com/montereymusicsummit:

Promoter Joe Fletcher made the difficult decision to postpone and relocate the Monterey Music Summit due to a combination of factors. Primarily, the transition from last October's location at the Monterey County Fairgrounds to the Laguna Seca Recreation Area this May proved to be more difficult than anticipated.

After a successful launch of the inaugural event last October at the Monterey County Fairgrounds, the decision was made to find a new location that could accommodate patrons who desired camping accommodations. It was at this time that Laguna Seca was selected and confirmed for dates in May 2008. Unfortunately, several issues have emerged since attempting to produce the event at the new location that have resulted in the overall decision to postpone the event. Objections to the Festival lineup (which ultimately had to receive final approval from the Monterey County Board of Supervisors), heightened security demands from county officials, noise restrictions, production cost factors and overall minimal demand for camping are the major obstacles encountered to date.

With a continued outpouring of public support despite the recent challenges in producing the second Monterey Music Summit, promoter Joe Fletcher has opted for a postponement and relocation of the event as opposed to a complete cancellation. Details on the new date and location will be announced once the event is firmly contracted.
