Christian singer Sean Feucht is facing anger ahead of a concert in Canada, with its venue having been changed after people threatened to protest the original Parks Canada venue.
Newsweek has reached out to Feucht via email for comment.
Why It Matters
Feucht is an Pro-Trump American Christian singer-songwriter and founder of the Let Us Worship movement. He unsuccessfully ran as a Republican candidate in California's 3rd congressional district in 2020.
Born in Montana, he founded Hold The Line, which is described on Feucht's website as "A movement seeking to engage the church and young people to inform, educate, and inspire the next generation of leaders to stand for what is right in the governmental arena."

What To Know
Feucht's concert was originally slated to take place at the York Redoubt National Historic Site near Halifax, but a permit was ultimately revoked because of safety concerns, following planned protests.
In an email sent to Newsweek, the Parks Canada Media Relations Team shared a statement that read in part: "Parks Canada is aware that members of the public have expressed concern about an event scheduled to take place at York Redoubt National Historic Site on July 23, 2025."
The statement detailed that this event was not a Parks Canada event but was instead to have been hosted by a permit holder.
"After careful review, and due to heightened public safety concerns, Parks Canada has notified the organizer that the permit has been revoked," the statement read.
A public event page on Facebook was titled "Protest MAGA dude in Halifaz at York Dedoubt Nat'l Park." The description for this event has been updated to read "THE PERMIT FOR THIS GROSS PERSON HAS BEEN REVOKED DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS." It also read in part that "He [Feucht] spreads intolerance and hate under the name of religion."
A post about the concert was also shared on the public Facebook group Gay Nova Scotia (2SLGBTQIA+).
It read in part that the person posting wanted to make the community aware of the concert, which it described as "concerning," and said that individuals could email Parks Canada to try to stop it from happening.
Following confirmation that the permit for the event at the park had been revoked, a post was updated to read "WE WON WE WON WE WON!!!!!!!! LOVE WINS."
Local residents described the concert as "upsetting" and "inappropriate" while speaking to the outlet, CBC.
Feucht has previously been criticized over remarks he has made about the LGBTQ+ community and for his pro-life stance. The In the News section on his website lists appearances on NewsMax, Breitbart and Steve Bannon's War Room Podcast.
Feucht first rose to prominence with his Let Us Worship tour in the latter half of 2020, which protested COVID-19 lockdowns. In April of 2022, he helped to lead a protest against The Walt Disney Company for their opposition to anti-LGBTQ legislation and in early 2023, he announced a "Kingdom to the Capitol" tour. This was co-sponsored by Turning Point USA, the nonprofit that advocates for conservative politics at high schools and university campuses.
What People Are Saying
Sean Feucht wrote in a post shared to X: "We will all get to witness if free speech and freedom of religion still exist in Canada."
The Parks Canada Media Relations team said in a statement shared with Newsweek: "Due to evolving safety and security considerations based on confirmation of planned protests, input from law enforcement, and the security challenges with the configuration of York Redoubt, Parks Canada has reassessed the conditions of the permit and potential impacts to community members, visitors, concert attendees and event organizers. After careful review, and due to heightened public safety concerns, Parks Canada has notified the organizer that the permit has been revoked."
What's Next
CBC reported that Feucht's free concert will now be staged in a rural area about 60 kilometres north of Halifax.
