Lucky Los Angeles! Yesterday, Arthur Nights, and today, the first annual LA Weekly Detour Music Festival has been announced. The day-long event, brought together by the LA Weekly (clearly) and Goldenvoice (creator of Coachella), is scheduled for October 7 in downtown Los Angeles at Main and 1st Streets. Beck, Basement Jaxx, Peeping Tom, Queens of the Stone Age, Blackalicious, Of Montreal, the Elected, Oh No! Oh My!, VHS or Beta, and more will perform.

A portion of ticket proceeds will benefit TreePeople, not the old Doug Martsch band but a nonprofit organization whose goal it is to train communities to plant trees, educate people about the environment, and work with government agencies on water issues.

Beck, Queens Of The Stone Age, Basement Jaxx, Peeping Tom, Redd Kross, Nortec Collective, Blackalicious, Of Montreal, the Like, the Elected, Oh No! Oh My!, the Blood Arm, Everybody Else, the Howling Bells, Wired All Wrong, VHS or Beta (DJ set), Steve Aoki/Kid Millionaire (DJ set), Shepard Fairey (DJ set), Travis Keller (DJ set)
