Marcus Adoro to join Eraserheads at upcoming festival amid sexual assault allegations
Guitarist Marcus Adoro will join the band after it was announced that he will be stepping back due to the sexual assault and harassment allegations against him.
In an official statement on Instagram, the festival producers said Adoro is "actively and legally addressing the baseless and false allegations that recently circulated online."
'Mr. Adoro maintains his innocence and has presented the steps he has taken to assert his innocence through the appropriate legal channels," they added. 'His legal counsel has also assured us that his participation in the festival will not hinder or delay their ongoing efforts to seek a fair and lawful resolution.'
The producers clarified that they do not condone abuse in any form, but at the same time, "firmly reject the culture of trial by social media."
'We stand for due process, fairness, and the fundamental right of every individual to address accusations in a lawful and just manner.'
With this, the Electric Fun Music Festival is pushing through 'with clarity, integrity, and our full commitment to the music and the community that brought us all together.'
In 2019, Marcus' daughter Syd Hartha spoke up on the alleged physical and verbal abuse from her father. Marcus' ex-partner Barbara Ruaro also opened up on the abuse.
In 2022, Marcus reached out to Syd Hartha ahead of the Eraserheads reunion concert.
In March, a post on Reddit went viral when a netizen claimed that Marcus raped her when she was in high school.
The Electric Fun Music Festival has been rescheduled to October 18.
