Overview
- Twin Temple said they were removed from Charley Crockett’s planned opening slots for the July 14 Troutdale, Oregon show and the July 18 Paso Robles, California show because of their overt Satanic imagery.
- Crockett confirmed the decision and told reporters, “Not today, Satan,” while removing most posts from his Instagram and posting messages defending his choice.
- On July 10–11 Jack White publicly offered Twin Temple an opening slot at his September 29 Hollywood Palladium show and the duo accepted in his Instagram comments.
- Twin Temple remain scheduled to open several September dates for Danzig, a pairing observers say fits their occult-oriented persona more naturally than Crockett’s audience.
- The episode spotlights how headliners and promoters vet and match openers to audiences, and it may push artists toward alternative booking routes and public alliances when image causes headline friction.
