Japanese Breakfast, who were nominated in the Best New Artist at this year’s Grammy Awards, pulled their show in Rochester after the Main Street Armory booked a stop for a tour described as “the start of QAnon 2.0” by New York Magazine. The tour stop, scheduled for August 12 and 13 in the city, will feature affiliates of former President Donald Trump, such as former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone.

On Twitter, Japanese Breakfast said people reached out to let them know about a boycott of the venue due to the tour.

“We were told the event was cancelled and later learned it was secretly still moving forward,” Japanese Breakfast tweeted:

1. Without checking, I'm going to guess that Main Street Armory has no choice.

Many cities have ordinances that prevent businesses operating in the city from discriminating against customers on the basis of political affiliation. Rochester might well be one such city.
