Camp Bisco, the popular but controversial annual electronic music festival held in Mariaville, is taking a year off.

Thursday, the festival's Facebook page posted a message saying the concert will be back in 2015, but will not happen this year.

"After much deliberation and tireless efforts to make Camp happen this year, we had to make the tough decision to take a year off," the message said, in part. "We will be coming back in 2015 with an amazing event that will cater to the needs, wants and wishes of Camp Bisco's most faithful and valued attendees!"

This year's concert already appeared to be in doubt when earlier this year, MCP Presents, the Denver-based company that promotes the show, did not apply for the necessary permits and approvals.

Camp Bisco, which is hosted by the Philadelphia-based band The Disco Biscuits, has been criticized over the years by police and emergency responders who say the festival brings in large amounts of hard drugs and does not provide adequate emergency services.

"The Biscuits, MCP and our amazing community of fans and friends have built this festival from the ground up and we take extreme pride in what we have all created together," the Camp Bisco Facebook post said. "We have shared such amazing experiences throughout the last decade and a half of Camp and we look forward to doubling down on that after this year off."
