Resolution criteria
Yes if, during any official Furnace Fest 2025 set at Sloss Furnaces (Birmingham, AL) between October 3–5, 2025, a performing band member from the stage explicitly insults or mocks Donald Trump by name (or an unmistakable reference), including leading a chant or displaying band-controlled onstage text/visuals that do so. Crowd-only chants not prompted by the band, offstage remarks, and social posts do not count. I will resolve Yes if I personally hear it; otherwise, I will require publicly available video/audio or a credible media report. If no qualifying instance is documented by 11:59 pm CT on Oct 5, 2025, resolve No. If the festival is entirely canceled with no sets performed, resolve N/A.

Background
Furnace Fest 2025 is scheduled for Oct 3–5, 2025 at Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham, Alabama. (lambgoat.com)
Reported 2025 lineup headliners include Jimmy Eat World, Dropkick Murphys, and Knocked Loose, with additional acts such as Suicidal Tendencies, Converge, Norma Jean, and more. (melodicmag.com)
Considerations
Only one qualifying incident by any band is needed for Yes.
Stage banter between songs counts; lyrics alone count only if altered or presented to clearly insult/mock Trump during the set.
Verification will rely on attendee footage or media coverage; band/venue official channels and reputable music outlets are preferred sources. (furnacefest.us)
