Foo Fighters have canceled their appearance at the Soundside Music Festival.

The event will take place at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on Saturday, September 28 and Sunday, September 29. Foo Fighters, scheduled to headline Sunday’s event, have now been replaced by Jack White and Greta Van Fleet.

“Foo Fighters will no longer be performing at the Soundside Music Festival this weekend,” read a statement on the band’s official Instagram account.

Foo Fighters did not specify why the band pulled out of their Soundside Music Festival performance. However, the cancellation comes two weeks after singer Dave Grohl said he had fathered a child outside his marriage.

“I recently became the father of a new baby girl, born out of wedlock,” Grohl said in a statement. “I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We are grateful for your attention to all the children involved as we move forward together.”

Noah Kahan will headline the Soundside Music Festival on Saturday, September 28. Other musical acts scheduled for Saturday include Goo Goo Dolls, Fleet Foxes, Boyz II Men, Grace Potter, Thee Sacred Souls, Christone “Kingfish Ingram, Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories, Madi Diaz and Rijah.

On Sunday, September 29, Jack White and Greta Van Fleet will headline. Other artists confirmed for Sunday include Bleackers, Norah Jones, Teddy Swims, Gregory Alan Isakov, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, The War and Treaty, Hurray for the Riff Raff and Darren Kiely.
