The plan was to rock and roll all night and party for a couple of days, but thanks to cyber criminals, Kiss fans will have to wait. The inaugural Moonstone Music Festival in Orlando, Florida, has been postponed due to what officials are calling a "major cyber fraud crime." The two-day festival, which was set to feature rock icons Kiss and Def Leppard, has been moved from April to September.

So far, not many details have been released on the cyber attack, but festival officials have said that the crime involves a major Tampa, Florida bank, as well as other businesses. Local law enforcement and the FBI are investigating the crime.

"At this time, we need to focus our efforts on this investigation," says Paul Lovett, Moonstone founder. "Because of this situation, we know our attention to the inaugural Moonstone might suffer and we want to ensure an amazing experience for everyone who attends the festival in September."

For those who were looking forward to rock and rolling all night... we leave you with this.
