Young Dene kicked off Folk on the Rocks lineup

Young Dene has been removed from the lineup of the Folk on the Rocks Festival, set to kick off this Friday, due to allegations of violence from “several persons.”

In a statement on its website today, the festival said they had “been contacted by several persons who have shared alleged experiences of violence.”

“A key priority of Folk On The Rocks is the safety of our audience, staff, and artists,” the statement read. “This idea of safety extends to all aspects of what it means to safely celebrate music and community spaces free from harm.”

The festival also thanked the people who came forward.
