The music groups were part of the “When We Were Young” concert held over a series of days earlier in October that cost fans a minimum of $425 a ticket and up.
Many of the artists involved expressly showed their support for Palestine and other left-wing political causes with anti-Trump slogans.
The artists mixed extreme, left-wing political messages with music. Used singer Bert McCracken, for instance, yelled “Freedom for fucking Palestine” from the stage, while Offspring guitarist donned a “No Kings” t-shirt. Meanwhile Story of the Year’s bassist Adam Russell wore a shirt with the message “Destroy American Fascism.” The band Used also unfurled a “Freedom for Palestine” flag during their set, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The event was chiefly sponsored by convenience store chain 7 Eleven, but a number of other companies include rideshare co. Lyft, beer maker Coors, Club Wyndham, Don Julio and many more.
The festival was launched in 2017 as annual concert featuring emo, pop-punk, and alternative rock bands from the early 2000s.
