Metal music festival loses headliner, multiple bands after announcing Kyle Rittenhouse as guest

The festival has now announced that a Slipknot cover band will be its headliner.

Wasn't sure where to put this, figured it's much too political for the Metal thread over in Mayhem, so here we go.



A bunch of the sponsors include multiple right-wing gun nut companies, several of them openly MAGAt and/or Neo-Nazi. So, **** those guys.

Here's a free article with statements from the band and from Shell Shock's founder and owner sliding down the inevitable path to obscurity.
From the statement he appears to come from the 'Trump Political Statement' school of thought. I doubt he'll get any participation for his festival next year. It's a good cause, though, so this is very much a tragedy for those charities. I hope another organization steps up when this one falls.
