Last weekend, Static-X, Dope, Adelitas Way, Flaw, and more performed as part of a three-day mini-festival at the Q&Z Expo Center in Ringle, WI amid the coronavirus pandemic. Tickets for the event were limited and some of the bands encouraged fans to wear masks and engage in social distancing. However, more footage from the show has surfaced and it appears that those in attendance weren’t completely following those suggestions.

In unsurprising news, the upcoming “Herd Immunity Fest,” which is set to take place at The Q&Z Expo Center in Ringle, WI on July 16-18, has been generating some controversy, considering we are still in the middle of a pandemic. Among those who called out the event was Powerman 5000’s Spider One, who tweeted the following:
Nonpoint, who were scheduled to perform at the festival, also responded to Spider One saying that they dropped off:
Organizers have also addressed the backlash themselves by changing the name of the event:
“For the record the venues land can accommodate up to 10,000 occupancy. This is an OUTDOOR EVENT for 3 Days. We are only selling 20% of that so anyone has the choice and ability to social distance. The Festival is also not called “Herd Immunity” and the name no longer tied to any of our social media or promotion.”
A number of rock/metal acts will apparently be performing at a mini-festival in Ringle, WI next month. The event, which is being called “Herd Immunity Fest,” will take place at The Q&Z Expo Center on July 16-18 and the daily lineups can be found below:
July 16: Blacktop Mojo and Flaw.
July 17: Bobaflex, Royal Bliss, Thunderstruck (AC/DC tribute), ONE (Metallica tribute), and Saul.
July 18: Static-X, Nonpoint, Dope, Kaledio, and Versus Me.
