The definition of “the show must go on” is in full force.

The former Music Midtown headliners, My Chemical Romance, announced they’ll still be performing in Atlanta despite last week’s festival cancellation. The alternative rock band posted the announcement, via a flyer on their Instagram page.

Music Midtown isn’t the only music festival that seems to be affected by the recent changes to Georgia gun laws. Just a few days ago, the 404 Festival announced they’ll be postponing their festivities. “In light of recent events, we have made the conscious decision to pause this year’s 404 Festival to explore options that will allow our fans to celebrate the community inclusion, growth, and appreciation of the City of Atlanta,” officials said in their statement.
