Unfortunately Sonfest Music Festival is will not be on in 2006. We thank everyone for their support of Sonfest for the past 5 years and understand that there will be a lot of speculation regarding why this has happened. Please know that this decision was not made lightly and did not come about due to one overwhelming reason, rather there were several factors that have lead to this. Sonfest is still very dedicated to touring the top Christian bands from around the world and we still hope to be able to restart Sonfest in the future."It has been confirmed that costing and geographical issues were among the reasons for the cancellation.Fact|date=February 2007
