Credit: Jake Giles NetterHalestorm, Stone Sour‘s Corey Taylor and the Fort Rock festival are teaming up to show support for the students advocating for school safety following the February 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
The festival, which will also feature sets from Ozzy Osbourne, Godsmack, Five Finger Death Punch, Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin and Stone Temple Pilots, is offering half-price weekend general admission tickets to anyone who signs the Students Fighting Guns Since Adults Won’t petition, which was started by a Michigan high school student in response to the Parkland shooting.
“I’m absolutely behind this movement,” says Taylor in a statement. “Not only the name itself, but the reason and the cause. As a father, my one concern is my children. The fact that no one is doing anything worthwhile to change the horrendous laws and circumstances around these shootings is unacceptable. So if the adults can’t extricate themselves from the politics that are keeping them from ACTUALLY making a difference, I support the generation who will.”
The members of Halestorm add, “To all the students that have been affected by gun violence, and to students everywhere, YOU are the ones we’ve been waiting for. Our future is what YOU make it and the path is yours to blaze. YOU are the fire! We are proud to stand by you as we push to make this planet a better place.”
Fort Rock will be held April 28-29 in Sunrise, Florida. Visit FortRockFestival.com for more info.
