Trey Anastasio has cancelled his only confirmed summer performance, a headlining spot at Detroit Lakes, MN's 10,000 Lakes Festival. The former Phish guitarist is currently undergoing a court-ordered drug rehabilitation program in upstate New York. While it was long believed that Anastasio would be able to fulfill his prior tour commitments, his spokesman released the following statement today: "Trey is disappointed he is unable to play the festival this year but is looking forward to returning for the 2008 10,000 Lakes Festival."

The String Cheese Incident will perform in Anastasio’s place as part of its final tour with Bill Nershi. Last summer, the group played two shows at 10,000 Lakes, including one with longtime pal Keller Williams. In addition, the group has added shows at the Beacon Theatre (7/11) and Red Rocks (8/9) to its summer calendar. A number of guests, including Femi Kuti and ALO, will also support the group during its Horning’s Hideout event.

Other acts scheduled to perform at 10,000 Lakes include Bob Weir & RatDog, The String Cheese Incident, Umphrey's McGee, moe., Gov't Mule, Keller Williams, The Disco Biscuits, The Tragically Hip, Zappa Plays Zappa, The Derek Trucks Band, Galactic, Little Feat, Particle, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Blueground Undergrass, Everyone Orchestra and Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk.
