Evergreen Terrace have cancelled their October 19 set at the “Shell Shock II” festival in Orlando, FL. The band pulled of the event after learning of the involvement of several entities including Kyle Rittenhouse, who infamously shot three men during a protest for Jacob Blake in Kenosha, WI. Two of those men died, but Rittenhouse was ultimately acquitted.
Evergreen Terrace commented:
“Evergreen Terrace has always supported and continues to support philanthropic events for veterans, PTSD awareness, child poverty, and many more, but we will not align with an event promoting a perceived murderer such as Kyle Rittenhouse capitalizing off of their pseudo celebrity.
Unfortunately we did not do our due diligence with this particular event. Even after they offered to pull Kyle from the event, we discovered several associated entities that we simply do not agree with.
As advocates for free speech we are respectfully canceling the Shell Shock festival. We will be personally contributing to a veterans charity and urge you to do the same. The promoters have been nothing less than understanding.
“Lines we draw in the sand…depend on where we stand.”
See you soon, Orlando.”
