Due to a recent, sudden loss, Brothers Wilde need to remain in southern Ontario to be with their community and have withdrawn from the 2026 Festival. Live from the Rock sends their condolences to all the members of the Kettle and Stony Point First Nation.

In place of Brothers Wilde in this weekend’s musical programming, you will find familiar faces who have agreed to step in and do their best. Please welcome them, support them and offer them a little grace.

On behalf of Ethan and Nolan Wilde we would also like to let you know that Kettle and Stony Point First Nation is joining the Anishinabek Nation in solidarity with the northern First Nations that have been displaced, lost their homes and been uprooted by wildfires.They are encouraging donations to the Dwe Waangizid Anishinaabe (One Anishinaabe Family) fund, 100% of which will go to supporting affected families in Namaygoosisagagun First Nation, Whitesand First Nation, Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation, Gakijiwanong Anishinaabe Nation, Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek and Animbiigoo Zaagi’igan Anishinaabck.
