第一屆灣島音樂祭忽遭縣政部門制止，29日收到屏東縣政府警察局恆春分局、屏東縣滿州鄉公所、行政院農業委員會林務局屏東林區管理處、屏東縣政府、第三核能發電廠、行政院海岸巡防署、墾丁國家公園管理處發函「決議撤銷辦理本活動」，接獲其發函決議撤銷辦理本活動。警方宣稱握有表演人員在灣島音樂祭中要販賣毒品的實質證據及林務局土地未借用等條例，決議撤銷辦理本活動。
6月29日距離活動開始日7月2日只剩三天，灣島音樂祭創辦人 阿庚+屎弟 立刻採取應變措施，召開灣島幹部緊急會議後擬定新聞稿，向允諾演出的所有表演者及志工、生態保育等十多個環保團體一一致歉。
灣島音樂祭於6月29日林務局、刑警及警方人員進入活動現場插牌告誡將封鎖沙灘，屏東縣政府單位並規勸取消活動。27日刑警及警方人員進入執行監控，阿庚與屎弟聲明灣島音樂祭並無販毒行為，一切個人販毒行為與灣島音樂祭無關。
因此突發事件影響灣島音樂祭未能如期舉辦。在此灣島創辦人向所有活動參與者道歉外，灣島音樂祭停辦之後改成全面不插電時間(Unplugged) 沒有任何重機具音響器材等在沙灘，自由散開在海邊抒發生態保育創作歌曲！九棚八瑤灣沙灘這幾天天氣晴朗，阿庚與屎弟依舊留在九棚不願離去，已來到恆春的樂團朋友或志工，一樣照常在沙灘上全面不插電搖滾，灣島依舊供應三天的吃住，讓所有人享受海邊的大自然，洗滌一下長期處於都市勞累的身心，目前現場有朋友、志工四十多人。7月2日遊覽車從台北到九棚八瑤灣沙灘，近二十個樂團，帶著樂器，以不插電的模式在沙灘上自由吟唱。

Due to an injunction from the local authorities, the first Wan Bay Music Festival has been cancelled. With only a few days to go before the start of the Festival on July 2, the Pingtung County authorities (comprising the Hengchun Police, the Magistrate Office in Manchou, the Pingtung Office of the Forestry Bureau, Ministry of the Interior, the Pingtung County government, the No. 3 Nuclear Power Station, the Coast Guard and the Kenting National Park Service) jointly decided on June 29 to place an injunction against the Festival. The Police claimed to have hard evidence that the Festival was to be used for the sale of narcotics and controlled substances, while the Forestry Department claimed the festival site was unauthorized. The organizers and Chief Happiness Ministers of the Festival, A-Geng and Noise Steve, convened a meeting of the key stakeholders in the event to compose this press release and to thank each and every one of the volunteers, bands, and environmental groups that had agreed to participate. As of June 29, the Forestry Department, Detectives, and Polce swarmed the site of the Festival, erecting injunction announcements and effectively closing the beach. Since the 27th, Detectives and Police Officers have been seen on surveillance rounds around the perimeter. A-Geng and Noise Steve have issued a statement to the effect that the Wan Bay Festival is not connected to the sale of controlled substances, and that any and all such actions are to be condemned. The organizers solemnly offer their sincere apologies to all those who had planned on participating in the upcoming festivities. The event has been rescripted, and is now fully unplugged. This means that the organizers will still provide food and rudimentary accommodations for the entire three-day period. Live music, no amplification permitted, will be accommodated on the beach. Those bands and the several dozen volunteers, along with Steve and A-Geng, already on hand are determined to hang on and carry forth with the plans for a wonderful festival, albeit of an unplugged nature. The buses scheduled to depart from Taipei for the Festival site will leave as planned on July 2. At least some 20 bands with instruments will be on the beach in unplugged fashion singing freely.
