"It's with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of the Punk in the Park road show events scheduled for 2026. These shows were something we truly believed in, and we know how much they meant to many of you. Unfortunately, the current climate surrounding the events has created challenges that make it impossible for us to move forward in a way that delivers the experience our fans, artists, and partners deserve."
"They're taking the money $$$, and THEN pulling out? The real Dead Kennedys would never have let this happen in the first place."
Punk in the Park festival has canceled its entire 2026 road show, which included scheduled events in Pittsburgh, Orlando, and Vallejo, California. The cancellation follows significant backlash regarding a donation made by festival owner Cameron Collins to Donald Trump's presidential campaign. The festival's statement cited the challenging climate surrounding the events as making it impossible to deliver the experience fans, artists, and partners deserve. Full refunds will be issued automatically to all ticket holders within one week. The Dead Kennedys initially stated they would perform the Pittsburgh and Vallejo dates but withdraw from future events, prompting criticism from former frontman Jello Biafra regarding the band's decision to accept payment before pulling out.
