Controversial Fest Books Slipknot Cover Band as Head...This whole story is hilarious

promoters decide to make Kyle Rittenhouse a special guest for the show for...some reason that even they have yet to publicly explain

queue the talent exodus

The actual headliner bounced and multiple other bands followed, so now the top of the ticket draw for this festival is just a cover band

and they've decided that by god the best way to fix this is to declare a culture war and blame the "woke mob" (which means they're either outright lying, best case scenario, or by "woke mob" they mean "every band that quit" which would noooooot be a good move if you want to have a show in the future)

why would a music festival even book kyle rittenhouse?

One of the many things still left unexplained

I mean, after looking at the statements from the company running it and the guy in charge...I have an idea why.

Seriously, though. I don't think metal heads are famously conservative.

remember when ted cruz said he was a fan of rage against the machine

litshard: they're not a monolith, and I know some definitely exist

hell, one of the guys from Demons & Wizards was part of January 6th

(which, admittedly, the rest of them had no fucking clue about until he was arrested, but still)
