As I Lay Dying removed from Welcome To Rockville, Miss May I added

As I Lay Dying have been replaced on the Welcome To Rockville 2025 line up by Miss May I. The move comes after the ongoing saga involving As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis and the drama between not only his former band members but former wife as well.
Over the last few months members began separating themselves from Lambesis just prior to the band's European tour, which was to support the group's new record Shaped By Fire, forcing a cancellation. Following the mass exodus, which also included Austrian Death Machine drummer Brandon Short, video surfaced of Lambesis and his wife Dany having heated exchanges which led to Dany releasing a statement combatting abuse allegations.
Lambesis would surface on an appearance on personal branding coach Justin Wenzel's podcast to discuss the recent events ranging from the exodus, the leaked videos, and his struggles with anxiety and more.
After that appearance a new video would surface of Lambesis mistreating his dog, while others argue the interaction was harmless.
The event organizers shared the following:
