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.

But if you were hoping to see a handful of the bands — including the headliner, Evergreen Terrace — there, well … they apparently don’t want to be on the same card as Kyle Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse, who shot three people, killing two, during a racial injustice protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2020, claimed self-defense and was acquitted of all charges.
