With just over a month left until Canberra gets moving to the sounds of Stonefest 2010, organisers behind the annual festival have announced today that two of the event’s big draws have had to cancel their appearances at the festival.

In an email sent to inthemix today, the Stonefest crew regrettably broke the news that both The Panics and Cloud Control were forced to pull out of their performances in favour of overseas commitments with The Panics decamping to the US to record their next record and Cloud Control locked into a European tour.

Never fear however as the team behind the 2010 Stonefest bash have swiftly announced replacements for the groups with Xavier Rudd bringing his bag of tricks to the nation’s capital this October alongside buzzed-about upstarts Deep Sea Arcade.

Check out the 2010 Stonefest lineup as it now stands below and stay tuned to ITM for all the deets as they come in.
